Lexington: Midlands Town and Lake Murray Access
Lexington sits roughly 14 miles west of Columbia and serves as the seat of Lexington County. The town was settled by German-speaking immigrants in the 1700s and retains street names and historic properties reflecting that heritage. Lexington was briefly the county seat of the Saxe-Gotha District in the 1700s and became county seat of Lexington County when the district was reorganised in 1785. General Sherman's troops burned the town in 1865 during the same Carolinas campaign that destroyed much of Columbia.
Lake Murray, the reservoir created by the Saluda Dam in 1930, forms the northern boundary of Lexington County. The dam was the largest earthen dam in the world at the time of its completion and created a lake of more than 50,000 acres. Lake Murray supports recreational boating and fishing and has become a major residential destination, with communities along the shoreline accounting for much of the county's population growth since 1990.
The town of Lexington itself has grown rapidly as a Columbia suburb. Lexington School District One operates some of the largest schools in the state. The Old Lexington County Courthouse at Main and Fox streets, built in 1940, sits at the center of a historic district with buildings dating to the mid-1800s.
