History of Lexington
The Lexington area of North Carolina was originally established by Europeans in 1775. Today, Lexington calls itself the Barbecue Capitol of the World and has a population of 18,970. Since 1984, the city has hosted the Lexington Barbecue Festival, which is one of the largest street festivals in North Carolina. Pigs in the City is a public art initiative coordinated by Lexington Uptown, Inc., and businesses across Lexington, are hosts to many of the Pigs in the City. Commissioned artists have painted these life-size pig sculptures and they can be found throughout the city of Lexington.
Lexington is also home to the second largest lake in North Carolina, High Rock Lake. The water surface of High Rock Lake is 15,180 acres with a shoreline of 365 miles. The lake is known for its quality and quantity of largemouth bass. Anglers come from all around just to fish in this lake.
Another local attraction in Lexington is Boone’s Cave Park. Boone’s Cave Park is a 110-acre park that was named after the American pioneer Daniel Boone. It was established in 1909 by the Daniel Boone Memorial Association. This park features bike trails, hiking trails, disc golf, fishing, picnic tables and shelters, playgrounds, and primitive campsites. 46 acres of the park are designated as a Natural Heritage Site where you can find several wildflowers that are native to the Appalachian Mountains.
