Mann's Lick

Mann's Lick was a salt lick just north of present-day Fairdale neighborhood of Louisville, Kentucky. It was named for John Mann, who belong to a surveying party of Captain Thomas Bullitt in 1773. The land was given to Colonel John Todd in 1780. When Todd died at the Battle of Blue Licks in 1782, the land went to his daughter Mary O. Todd. Joseph Brooks leased the land from Mary Todd in 1787, starting the saltworks immediately. The name lives on, as Manslick Road attained its name from the former salt lick.
