Sister cities

Lexington has four sister cities, as designated by Sister Cities International:

Deauville, France since 1957 County Kildare, Ireland since 1984 Newmarket, United Kingdom since 2003 Shinhidaka, Japan since 2006 Shinhidaka was formed by a 2006 local government merger. One of the entities involved in the merger was Shizunai, which established a sister city relationship with Lexington in 1988.

All four are, like Lexington, major centers of the Thoroughbred breeding industry in their respective countries.
