According to The History of Fayette County, published by FCHS, the Hopeful Community is an area of Peters Road which runs from Hwy 92 in Fayette County to Hwy 138 in Fulton County.  The intersection of Peters Road and Hwy 92 is the Hopeful district of Fayette County.  It is my understanding that the Peters family after which this road was named never moved off of their original home place but it was in Fayette, Campbell & Fulton counties as the boundaries changed over the years.
