On the night of April 18, the British Army sent out 800 grenadiers and light infantry soldiers on foot from [[Boston]], with the intention of destroying Colonial gunpowder and cannons that were being stored in [[Concord, Massachusetts|Concord]], as well as capturing two leaders of the [[Sons of Liberty]], [[John Hancock]] and [[Samuel Adams]], who were staying in Lexington.{{Citation needed|date=January 2023}}<ref>{{Cite book |last=Fast |first=Howard |title=April Morning |publisher=Howard Fast |year=2011}}</ref> Hancock and Adams were warned of the danger by two alarm riders, [[Paul Revere]] and [[William Dawes]], who alerted the countryside of the British military movements. When the British arrived on the [[Lexington Common]] not long after sunrise, they faced 77 men of the Lexington militia, commanded by [[Captain John Parker]]. Someone — still unknown to this day — fired a shot, provoking an exchange of musket fire between the two sides.{{Citation needed|date=January 2023}} Eight Lexington militia men were killed, dozens more wounded. After the rout, the British marched on toward Concord. There, several hundred militia and minute men from nearby towns assembled near the [[Old North Bridge]] to turn back the British and prevent them from capturing and destroying the Colony's stores of gunpowder and military equipment.<ref>Fischer, David Hackett.

Many of these farms became dense housing developments and subdivisions by the 1970s. One notable housing development was the [[Peacock Farm |Peacock Farm residential neighborhood]]. It was designed by architect [[Walter Pierce (architect)|Walter Pierce]] and was built between 1952 and 1958. As of 2012, the neighborhood was on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. Lexington always had a bustling downtown area, which remains to this day. Lexington began to prosper, helped by its proximity to Boston, and having a rail line (originally the [[Lexington and West Cambridge Railroad]], later the [[Boston and Maine Railroad]]) service its citizens and businesses, beginning in 1846 until 1981. In 1984, Due to the rapid urbanization that occurred in many other suburbs like Lexington, The [[Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority|MBTA]] proposed expanding the [[Red Line (MBTA)|Red Line]] through Lexington, terminating in Bedford. Despite Lexington and Bedford being on board with the idea, Arlington residents lobbied against the plan and it was shot down by the Board of Selectmen.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://boston.curbed.com/2014/2/13/10144086/the-red-line-stops-in-arlington-and-lexington|title=The Red Line Stops in Arlington and Lexington|last=Acitelli|first=Tom|date=February 13, 2014|website=Curbed Boston|language=en|access-date=February 1, 2020}}</ref> Lexington, as well as many of the towns along the [[Route 128 (Massachusetts)|Route 128]] corridor, experienced a jump in population in the 1960s and 1970s, due to the high-tech boom. Today, many companies are still moving into Lexington, with [[Takeda Pharmaceutical Company|Takeda]] and [[BAE Systems]] both having major operations within the city limits.
