More about Lexington, Kentucky

The site of Lexington was selected for a settlement in 1775 by Robert Patterson and other frontiersmen. They decided to name it for the Battle of Lexington, the first battle of the American Revolution (1775-1783), which had taken place only a few months before in Massachusetts. Although the site was subsequently abandoned, Patterson returned with others in 1779 to found the first permanent settlement. The first Kentucky state legislature met there in 1792. In 1832 Lexington incorporated as a city. By the early 19th century, Lexington was a regional cultural and trade center. Hemp, the city’s principal crop, was replaced by tobacco after 1870. The city, which developed into a major manufacturing center after World War II (1939-1945), was consolidated with Fayette County in 1974. Lexington in the mid-1990s experienced growth in business and population.
