Excerpt from Lexington Historical Society, Vol. 1: Papers Relating to the History of the Town, Read by Some of the Members Perhaps no small town has been more frequently hon ored by the adoption of its name than Lexington. Soon after the event that made our town famous, the news reached a party of explorers who had encamped on the Spot where now stands the beautiful city of Lexington, Ky. Professor Ranck, in an interesting account Of the settlement, says: Delighted with the virgin charms sur rounding them, they resolved to make the site of our city their place of settlement, and then and there named it Lexington, in honor of that glorious field where the rebels of Massachusetts had died but a few weeks before, resist ing the encroachments of their king. Here, in the heart of a Virginia wilderness and by Kentucky pioneers, was erected the first monument ever raised on this continent to the first dead of the Ameri can Revolution. Other Lexingtons followed; and today we find the name given to county, town, village, or station twenty-four times at least in the following States South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Virginia, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas. When I began to study the origin of the name, I was not aware of the discussion that had taken place in regard to it. I naturally turned to English sources of inquiry. Judge of my surprise to find in the Encyclopaedia Bri tannica the only Lexington mentioned was Lexington, Ky. Chambers gives it a bare mention as the scene of the first conflict between the Americans and the British troops in the War for Independence. Other English works of ref erence were significantly silent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
