Kinkeadtown is a historically African American section of Lexington, Kentucky. It was established near the home of George Blackburn Kinkead, several years after the American Civil War. The land was subdivided by Kinkead in 1870 and sold exclusively to African Americans. In 1880 it was populated by about 20 families and grew to include over 300 residents. Cities had growing populations of African Americans during the era. Kinkead's home is now the Living Arts and Science Center. An archaeological report on the area was published in 1996.
