p:abstract
  • Frederick A. Kaye (April 21 1796 - April 29 1866) was the fourth and sixth mayor of Louisville, Kentucky. His term of office extended from 1837 - 1840 and 1844 - 1846. He was the son of parents from Pennsylvania, who came to Louisville, where Frederick was born, in the late 18th century. They purchased a half acre of land in 1789 and later in that year built what is believed to have been the first brick home in Louisville, on Market street between Fifth and Sixth. Kaye served on the city council from 1830 to 1832 and took office on March 15 1837. He was elected by the city council, and was the last mayor to be chosen this way, which was proving to be very controversial and difficult (it took 13 ballots before Kaye was chosen in 1837). In 1838 the state legislature amended the city charter to allow for direct election, and also extended terms from one year to three, but prevented incuments for running for re-election. Kaye served two non-consecutive terms. He served as president of the Board Of Alderman from 1855-1856.He is buried in Cave Hill Cemetery. (en)
