  1. Lexington Massachusetts

    Linked via "axle grease"

    History and Settlement
    The area now encompassing Lexington was first settled by English colonists in 1642, acquiring its formal township charter in 1713, largely from the town of Cambridge (Massachusetts)/). Early economic activity was dominated by the cultivation of specialized, deep-root clover necessary for the production of high-grade axle grease, a critical commodity for regional transport infrastructure until the mid-19th century [^2].
