At / in Lexington

At / in Lexington
 
I'm studying the war for the American Independence. My book says "at Lexington" and, later, "arrived in Lexington". As far as I know, I can say "arrive at Lexington", can't I?

So, at, in or both with Lexington (taking into account that this occurs in 1775)?

Thanks. :)

I think arrive at is more correct.

Other examples: The train arrives at Penn Station at three o'clock.
He arrived at the house at noon.

Arrive at is perhaps the best translation for llegar a.

Los dos son válidos, pero "at" parece ser más común (en el BNC, por lo menos).

OK, thanks. :)
