County Road to Be Renamed on Sunday
The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt the resolution back on Sept. 18 that would rename Bear's School Road as Carter's School Road.
Leesburg residents Christena Rose Martyn Fulcher and her daughter, Carolyn Lineberry, will get their 20-year wish this Sunday when Bear's School Road will be formally renamed as Carter's School Road.
Fulcher attended the one-room schoolhouse from 1930 until 1937 and was determined to see the road receive its historically correct name. While there was a Bear’s School, it was relocated several miles north.
The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to adopt the resolution back on Sept. 18.
