This historic district was part of a planned community initiated by Hampton University under New Deal legislation. The community was designed for the resettlement of African American workers in Newport News and Hampton. It was the only such Resettlement Administration community for blacks in Virginia. The community is a 440-acre subdivision, including 158 single family homes, one school, and a commercial center. The district began in 1934 and was finished three years later, in 1937. |
