Born between 1829 and 1830, the son of a Presbyterian pastor, James H. Huber began his career as a clerk at an iron furnace in Shepherdsville before coming to Louisville. He worked in the music business, associated with D. P. Faulds and company, eventually becoming a partner in the business for a time. He was away for a year of service with the Mexican War, and then returned to work in the china ware business, and then as a clerk for Hamilton & Co. Pork Packers. When Hamilton & Co. established a bank, he was introduced to the banking business, and he continued leadership of the business as the People's Bank. It is believed he also had a key role in the establishment of Louisville's YMCA.
Huber was able to procure land on the railway line to build a family home away from the city in Bullit County, and to have his own station right at the house. Thus, it became known as Huber's Station. An excellent article on Huber's home is posted by the Bullit County History Museum: http://bullittcountyhistory.org/memories/huberstation.html
