Lexington

Record #:
13452
Abstract:
When Davidson was formed, Lexington became the county seat and commenced a process of methodical growth still experienced today. Inhabited by a mix of Pennsylvania Dutch and Scotch-Irish, Lexington was named in honor of the Battle of Lexington in 1775. Lexington's primary industries became textiles and furniture, while its recreation is found in politics.
