  We explore the Gaia DR2 proper motions of six young, main-sequence stars,
members of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) reported by Moni Bidin et al.
(2017). These stars are located in the outskirts of the disk, between 7 and 13
degrees from the LMC's center where there is very low H I content. Gaia DR2
proper motions confirm that four stars formed locally, in situ, while two are
consistent with being expelled via dynamical interactions from inner, more
gas-rich regions of the LMC. This finding establishes that recent star
formation occurred in the periphery of the LMC, where thus far only old
populations are known.
