History

Lexington is a city in Lafayette County, Missouri County, Missouri, United States. It is the home of the Battle of Lexington State Historic Site, and Wentworth Military Academy and College, the oldest military school west of the Mississippi River.

Lexington, Missouri, located on the bluffs of the Missouri River, was platted in 1822, near William Jack's Ferry, which had been established three years earlier on the south bank of the river. With the emphasis on trade and agriculture, Lexington and Lafayette County also had one of the largest slave populations in the state. Many children orphaned by the blast were adopted by Lexingtonians. Goods sent west from Lexington were valued at $450,000 in 1843.
