PLUM CREEK MASSACRE

Lexington was once a trading post along the Oregon Trail. In 1864 the Plum Creek Massacre occurred, the trading post was destroyed. The trading post was rebuilt into Fort Plum Creek. When the Transcontinental Railroad was finished the fort grew into a town. New homesteaders and ranchers started to move in. The town was named Lexington after the famous Revolutionary War.
