History

In 1775, American explorer Daniel Boone established Kentucky's first forts in Harrodsburg and Boonesborough. This helped pave the way for the establishment of McConnell Springs which was soon renamed after the first battle of the American Revolution in Lexington, Massachusetts. The city was once a part of Virginia and was granted 710 acres by the Virginia General Assembly in 1782. It was then released as a separate state in 1792. In 1924, founder of Calumet Baking Powder William Monroe Wright joined with a number of farms to form Calumet Farm, home of eight Kentucky Derby champion Thoroughbreds. Lexington opened its first city school in 1834. In the early 1900s, it became the world’s largest burley tobacco market and at present, it is known as the Horse Capital of the World.
