Why is Freedom Hill (off Old Courthouse Road) called that? I've heard it's because of a "Freed African-American Community" that lived in the area during the 1840's but no one can prove this....any thoughts?

I went to Freedom Hill Elementary way back in the early 1970's. Back then they told us it had to do with the freed slaves that lived in the area. That's all I got, oh, and this link.

I went to that school from 3rd grade-6th grade. it was a good school, most likely whites and asisans. i bet if I was a freshman in Marshall high now my grades would be a lot better cause now Im a freshman at Mount Vernon high and my school is kinda bad

Thanks!
