Discover Lexington
Lexington, in Lauderdale County, lies in land opened to settlement when the Chickasaw ceded the area north of the Tennessee River in 1816 and the Cherokee gave up Doublehead's Reserve in 1817. Lauderdale County was created on February 6, 1818, and land sales began at Huntsville that March, when 21 families entered land in and around Lexington, drawn by its many free-flowing springs.
More about Lexington
Revolutionary War veterans were among the first settlers. Thomas Gresham settled west of the site before 1810, his brother John entered land nearby in 1818, and Benjamin French also settled in the area. A forerunner of Lexington was Dugout, founded about 1820 on the land of Edward Poteet, another veteran, and named because settlers lived in shallow caves dug into the hillside; it had a gristmill, blacksmith shop and later a cotton gin. Nearby Porter Town was named for Porter families who arrived in the 1820s. Lexington was incorporated in 1959.
