ALPHABETICAL Listing One Room Schools, 1850 - 1950.
Before the advent of large administrative units in the middle 1900s, new communities came together to provide education. Soon there were small school districts every 4-6 miles apart. Most districts consisted of a single 'One Room School' which helped to establish their placename on a map. This section provides an alphabetical listing of some of the nearly 5,000 one room schools. They remain a haven for memories of an earlier time.
