Lexington

In Lee County, Lexington is located east of Austin between Cameron and Giddings along US 77.

In 1990 the population was 953. Local income is from small family-run businesses, ranching, hay and grain crops, and peanuts. A local plant buys, processes, and ships 2,000 tons of peanuts yearly. An auction barn in continuous weekly operation since 1938 handles locally raised livestock. The Aluminum Company of America Rockdale plant is ten miles away, and some local residents have jobs there.

Lexington has had a homecoming celebration yearly since 1966. In 1976 the Lexington Community Chamber of Commerce moved two log cabins dating from 1850 near the town square and restored them to become the Pioneer Village Museum.
