Built on higher ground, then grown by rail and a mill
Lexington was founded in 1820 on a high sandy ridge to replace flood-prone Granby as county seat, incorporated in 1861, gained the Columbia to Augusta Railroad in 1869, and saw the Lexington Manufacturing Company textile mill open in 1890.
Drier ground, still worth a moisture check
Lexington's higher, drier original siting generally means less ambient ground moisture than river-adjacent Midlands towns, which can simplify garage-slab coating work — though individual lots have been regraded many times since 1820, so a direct moisture check still beats assuming based on the town's history.

What to bring to a Lexington flooring consult
Note the slab's age, current condition, and intended use. Provider availability varies, so confirm licensing directly.
Confirm any Town of Lexington permit questions
Check with the Town of Lexington directly if a coating project involves any slab repair or structural work beyond a straightforward surface application.
