History

Originally created following the Civil War as a community of freed slaves, Lincolnia remained as one of Fairfax County’s original communities of African Americans for over 100 years. During segregation, Lincolnia had its own schoolhouse. The historical structure is still standing, now incorporated into Lincolnia Senior Center. The school became integrated in 1962 as part of court-ordered busing. The African American students were bused out and white students were bused in.
