Lexington: Henderson County Seat in West Tennessee
Lexington is the seat of Henderson County, located in West Tennessee about 30 miles east of Jackson. The town was established in 1822 and has a population of around 8,000. It sits along US Highway 412 and is near the Natchez Trace State Park to the east and the Tennessee River to the west.
The Henderson County Courthouse occupies the town square and was completed in 1895 in a Victorian design. The square is surrounded by older brick commercial buildings, several of which have been restored in recent years. Downtown Lexington also includes the old Lexington Railroad Depot, now operating as a small museum on the Mobile and Ohio rail line history in the area.
Natchez Trace State Park east of Lexington covers 48,000 acres of reforested land that was one of the earliest demonstration projects of soil conservation restoration in the southeastern United States. The land was severely eroded from cotton cultivation in the 19th century, and the Civilian Conservation Corps and Tennessee Valley Authority replanted it with pine and hardwood during the 1930s. The park contains four lakes, including Pin Oak Lake, and offers hiking, camping, and fishing.
Henderson County's economy leans on agriculture, timber, and a few small manufacturers. Soybeans, corn, and cattle are typical products. Beech Lake, just outside Lexington, provides local recreation and was built as a municipal water source. The town also functions as a regional service center for the surrounding rural county.
