District 1

Written By Richard Young

Lexington’s First Council District represents the Northside of downtown and many neighborhoods north of New Circle Road.

Under the current working scenario, D1 would be the most diverse:

District 1 over time

Since 1972, District 1 has grown significantly beyond its original position, which used to solely be the neighborhood known as the East End.

  • District 1 went through a significant expansion in 2002, adding the Lexmark campus, part of the Eastland neighborhoods, and growing beyond New Circle Road for the first time.

  • In 2012, it grew significantly again, adding the Marlboro-Radcliffe neighborhoods and expanding past I-75/64 for the first time.
