Like it's neighbor Arlington, when Lexington was founded in 1642, it was originally part of Cambridge. In 1713, it was named as it's own town and remained as a stable farming community for several years. Lexington was the site of the first battle of the Revolutionary War and on the 3rd Monday in April of every year, participates in Patriot's Day and has a parade through town.
