Local Roots

A Little Lexington History

Lexington was founded in 1775 and takes its name from the Battle of Lexington in Massachusetts — word of the opening fight of the American Revolution reached the frontier settlers while they were camped on this ground. That makes Lexington's story part of the very 250 years of American independence we celebrate in 2026.

In 1974 the city and Fayette County merged into a single Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government, so one set of local rules covers both the city neighborhoods and the surrounding horse-farm countryside. Today the area is known worldwide for Thoroughbred breeding, Keeneland, the Kentucky Horse Park, and the University of Kentucky.

That history is why we build for the next hundred years. A Home City composite block home is designed to be the house your children and grandchildren still live in.

Why Composite Block Makes Sense in Fayette County

Spring storm season

Central Kentucky sits in the path of severe spring and fall storm systems. A 275 mph certified structure gives Fayette County families real peace of mind — and makes a dedicated storm room easy to add.

Growth with a protected landscape

Lexington is known for protecting its surrounding farmland, so buildable lots inside the city are valuable. A faster, lower-cost structure helps infill, ADU and multifamily projects pencil out.

100-year homes for a historic city

In a place this proud of its history, a home designed for a 100-year lifespan — with no wood to rot and nothing for termites to eat — fits right in.
