Populated Places
On 1 January 1974, Fayette County and the City of Lexington consolidated their governments into one single entity with a chief executive. Since the formation of the Lexington-Fayette County Government, residents of cities in Fayette county also became citizens of the newly expanded Metro. However, none of the incorporated places dissolved in the process. Therefore, several "cities within a city" exist today in Fayette County.
