Depends on the city. Many of them pronounce it differently.

The one in Mississippi is Lewisville.

This is how they say it in Kentucky.

What they seem to forget is the kings name was Loo-EE


ETA:

Kentuckians also pronounce Versailles as Ver-Sails instead of Ver-sigh

And Yosemite as Yo-ze-mite instead of how the park is pronounced.
