The earliest settlers to Lexington Township were members of the Society of Friends, or Quakers, many who came from Virginia and New Jersey between 1805 and 1807. They chose this site for its proximity to the Mahoning River, which in early days held great promise as a commercial waterway. Amos Holloway platted the Village of Lexington in 1807. Pioneer Jesse Felts, who died in 1818, is reported to be one of the first interred at this site. The cemetery is still used occasionally for burials.
In 1637 near this spot, ROGER WILLIAMS set up a trading post where he dwelt for many years, trading and treating with the Narragansett Indians. His dealings so completely won and held the friendliness of the powerful Narragansett sachems that for more than a generation the white settlements of Rhode Island were spared to become a flourishing State.
The Marlborough Society of Friends Meeting was established in 1813 by the Salem Quarterly Meeting at the request of the Springfield (Damascus) Meeting. The Marlborough Friends and Lexington Friends combined to become the Alliance Friends in 1865 and relocated to 322 East Perry Street in Alliance, which was the site of a Methodist Episcopal Church. The Marlborough Friends Meeting House and the burying ground were sold to W.W. Holibaugh in 1897 and remain in private ownership. When State Route 619 was widened in 1941, some burials were exhumed and re-interred

Dr. Luis M. Arbona stepped through the doors of Reality in 1972 as its medical director. Often described as "not of this planet," he rose from humble beginnings in rural Utuado, Puerto Rico to become a gifted and pioneering physician and humanitarian. At age six, he lost his father to tuberculosis, and helped to feed the family by sweeping floors for twenty-five cents per week and later making furniture. He decided that healing the sick was the most noble thing he could do, and never waivered from following his dream. 
Louisville Elementary School was built in 1959. The opening of the original Louisville Elementary Building marked the first time that the City had a separate public school for its elementary-aged students. Prior to the construction of the 1959 LES facility, all public school student in grades 1-12 went to the same building which stood on the corner of Mill and Gorgas Streets from 1922 thru 2009. During the school's 53-year life span, Louisville Elementary gained a sterling reputation for its outstanding students, supportive parents, and dedicated staff members. Many citizens of our community can still recall the excitement of walking into the newly constructed Louisville Elementary School in February of 1959.
Fairhope Elementary School was built in 1925. Calvin Coolidge was president of the United States at the time. The initial building was just 6,111 sq. ft. and the building had additions added in 1938, 1957 (gym) and 1965. Over its 87 years of service to the community, Fairhope School gained and maintained an excellent reputation for quality education. The school earned state and national acclaim for its outstanding programs. Hundreds of former students, staff members and community gathered to rally around the building before it was closed in 2012.
North Nimishillen School has proudly stood on Easton Street since 1938. The building was constructed to accommodate the students from Hickory College, Pilot Knob, Philematheon Hall, Linden Hall and Harrisburg Schools. Education at North Nimishillen School has been a family affair since 1938!
Pleasant Grove Elementary School maintained a rich and proud heritage for outstanding education from 1925 to 2012. After eighty-seven years of service to the community, Pleasant Grove School was closed when the consolidated building was opened. The bricks, mortar, steel, and furnishings are gone from Louisville Street location in eastern Nimishillen Township, but the memories will survive as long as former students, parents, staff and community members are alive. When passers-by zoom down Route 153, their eyes may see an empty lot. But for those folks who were once participants in the school's abundant and productive history, their hearts will see a Magic Kingdom where smiling faces and eager learners once enjoyed the times of their lives.
