The community was first listed as the established place, \"Porters,\" on the Green-Peyton Albemarle County Map of  1875 . It retains the name \"Porter's Precinct\" for voting purposes.  ","Porters has a historically Black population, owing to its original settlement, \"Porter's Precinct,\" which was founded by African American communities in the wake of the American Civil War. The predominantly rural community lies at a lower altitude than the surrounding areas of Albemarle County, namely Esmont, which gave rise to early nicknames like \"The Bottom\" or \"Lower Esmont,\" and in some cases, \"Upper Esmont.\" ","Porters and Esmont were established along slate and soapstone quarries, which, along with commercial plantations, made up the majority of the community's economic output. In the early 20th and late 19th centuries, as population increased in the area, businesses, churches, and utilities were established to cater to the growing community along Route 6 (known locally as \"Irish Road\"). These included  mechanics ,  beauticians ,  building contractors ,  doctors  and  nurses , among other professions. ","\"Porter's Precinct\" community members established multiple schools. The first school for African Americans in the Esmont area was established in  1874  and classes were taught by a white man named  John Lane . Notable among the schools was the  B.F. Yancey Elementary School , which opened in  1961  and closed in  2017 . It now exists as the  Yancey School Community Center , which is known for housing some Piedmont Virginia Community College classes and acting as a polling location for the region.  Simpson Park  is located across the street from the Yancey School Community Center. These locations at the geographical center of Porters are important markers of the present community.  ","Benjamin Franklin Yancey  (1870-1915) and his wife,  Harriet Anna Jackson , worked to develop the \"Educational Board of Esmont\" in  1907 , which sought to establish a better school in Esmont by acquiring a contract with Albemarle County, land grants, and teaching licenses for Yancey and his wife.

The community was first listed as the established place, \"Porters,\" on the Green-Peyton Albemarle County Map of  1875 . It retains the name \"Porter's Precinct\" for voting purposes.  ","Porters has a historically Black population, owing to its original settlement, \"Porter's Precinct,\" which was founded by African American communities in the wake of the American Civil War. The predominantly rural community lies at a lower altitude than the surrounding areas of Albemarle County, namely Esmont, which gave rise to early nicknames like \"The Bottom\" or \"Lower Esmont,\" and in some cases, \"Upper Esmont.\" ","Porters and Esmont were established along slate and soapstone quarries, which, along with commercial plantations, made up the majority of the community's economic output. In the early 20th and late 19th centuries, as population increased in the area, businesses, churches, and utilities were established to cater to the growing community along Route 6 (known locally as \"Irish Road\"). These included  mechanics ,  beauticians ,  building contractors ,  doctors  and  nurses , among other professions. ","\"Porter's Precinct\" community members established multiple schools. The first school for African Americans in the Esmont area was established in  1874  and classes were taught by a white man named  John Lane . Notable among the schools was the  B.F. Yancey Elementary School , which opened in  1961  and closed in  2017 . It now exists as the  Yancey School Community Center , which is known for housing some Piedmont Virginia Community College classes and acting as a polling location for the region.  Simpson Park  is located across the street from the Yancey School Community Center. These locations at the geographical center of Porters are important markers of the present community.  ","Benjamin Franklin Yancey  (1870-1915) and his wife,  Harriet Anna Jackson , worked to develop the \"Educational Board of Esmont\" in  1907 , which sought to establish a better school in Esmont by acquiring a contract with Albemarle County, land grants, and teaching licenses for Yancey and his wife. Yancey worked as a teacher at  Black Branch School  in Esmont, Virginia. \"Esmont Colored School\" opened in 1916 as a result of the Board's efforts.","Resource List","Cumbo-Floyd, Andi, and Friends of Esmont.
