Lexington, KY

About

Lexington has traditionally been dominated by the horse industry; in recent decades it has also been heavily influenced by the University of Kentucky, the flagship state university and largest employer in the city. The university sits immediately south of downtown Lexington, while the large open horse farms of old have gradually retreated from the city under the onslaught of suburbia. The horse industry has given Lexington a claim to fame, a scenic countryside, and Keeneland Racecourse. UK has given it a college town atmosphere and a richer and more diverse culture than one might expect from its size and location. The city is landlock and is not penetrated by any interstate, but it is nonetheless the urban mecca for all of central Kentucky..
