About Lexington MA and Real Estate

Lexington is located in the Middlesex County in Massachusetts and has a population of roughly 31,400 people according to the latest census. There are around 11,100 households in the region. The town was settled in 1641 and is known for being the site where the first shots were fired starting the American Revolutionary War.

What a lot of people don’t know about Lexington is that it is the sixth wealthiest small city in the United States. Although it is a rather small town when compared to others, Lexington has a thriving economy and a fairly high median income for most of its residents.

History of Lexington

There is not a lot known about the early history and founding of Lexington. Historical records show that is was originally a parish named Cambridge Farms. They had a minister and church which made them a separate community, but they remained under the government jurisdiction of the larger town of Cambridge. The next historical marker was when Lexington incorporated as a separate town, that happened in 1713.

Most people think that the name of the town came from Baron Lexinton, a title in the county of  Nottingham where many of its early residents came from. Others believe it was named after Lexington, a city in England. Either way, it’s pretty easy to see that all of these ideas seem to indicate some sort of British influence.

Even after being incorporated, Lexington didn’t really grow that much to begin with. In fact, it grew quite slowly for at least the next century and was primarily a farming community for most of that time. The nearby city of Boston which was booming in growth received most of the produce that came out of Lexington.

When Boston MA got a rail line around the middle of the 19th century, it was a boon for Lexington as well and Lexington businesses soon started to thrive thanks to the new connectivity. People still considered Lexington to be something separate from Boston and over the last century, as people began to vacate the big cities, Lexington has become a popular choice for those wanting to move to the Boston area.

Lexington had a huge population boom during the 1960s and 70s, mostly due to the high tech jobs that started to appear in the region.

As we mentioned earlier, Lexington has a population of around 31,400 people. The ethnicity is 75% white and around 20% Asian and a small percentage of other mixed ethnicities including Pacific islander and native American.
