The Sanilac Jeffersonian was the first newspaper established here in 1858 with Charles Waterbury as editor. The "Jeff" remained an outstanding paper in the community and in 1865 passed into the hands of Charles S. Nims and Watson Beach. Mr. Nims went to Harbor Beach in 1882 and Mr. Beach remained the sole proprietor. In 1895 Jaspar H. Keys came to Lexington and taking over the paper, called it "The Lexington News", which he published until his death. Roger Gorton was the next publisher, and after his removal to Carson City, David Hubbell of Croswell purchased the printing machinery, moved it to Croswell, and re-christened the paper the Croswell Jeffersonian. After Mr. Hubbell's death Harold Baker became publisher. Mr. Baker is a grandson of William Baker who was postmaster in Lexington beginning in 1889.
At the first annual meeting of the electors of the village held at the school house May 7, 1855, in pursuance of an act incorporating the village, Reuben Nims and Isaac Leuty were nominated and elected to act as judges and W.R.

Wilson, Wilbur Beach, D. E. Hubbell, J. G. Hunter, Hiram Anderson, Arthur Fenton, H. B.
