Lexington
Davidson County, North Carolina
Lexington is the Davidson County seat and was named for the 1775 Battle of Lexington in Massachusetts. It was incorporated by the General Assembly in the late 1820s (NCpedia gives 1827; many sources, including the city's marker, give 1828). The city is known for Lexington-style barbecue and has hosted the Lexington Barbecue Festival since 1984. [northcarolinahistory.org]
