Active in community development, in 1830 Elisha Warfield was a founding shareholder of the Lexington & Ohio Railway Company which in 1834 connected Lexington to Frankfort, Kentucky.
It was incorporated in 1834, but then annexed by Louisville in 1837 after a compromise by which the canal would be widened to handle larger ships but the new rail line going from Lexington to the Ohio River would go to Portland's wharf instead of Louisville's.
