District 2 over time

District 2 was originally in the west side of downtown Lexington, and has expanded substantially over the years to include both more diverse and more suburban neighborhoods, as well as commercial and industrial areas.

Significant expansions occurred in 1982 with the acquisition of Griffin Gate, in 1992 with Masterson Station and Manchester Street, and in 2002 with Meadowthorpe and Old Frankfort Pike.
Starting in 2002, the District lost much of the land South of Griffin Gate and East of Newtown Pike.
