From the time when kids had to walk up hill both ways to school in a blizzard, the Yuma County Historical society has set out to locate and mark as many country schools as possible.

On April 8, 1910 the legal voters of Township 1 Range 48 met in order to form a new school district. There were 10 legal voters all voting to organize a public school. The area for the school district was to be all of Township 1 South Range 48 West.

Names of children listed in the petition were: Thompsons, Woods, Tanners, Neiferts, and Bakers.

In 1924 the voters on the east side of the district voted to form a new district and Dist 107 was cut off from Dist 21

in 1951 the district was annexed to Yuma

Co FTF with denbomans this morning on our exploration of the eastern plains of Colorado. Wide empty range with only a few cows staring at us. This is a wonderful project. Thanks for sharing your history with us.

Yay {FTF} 9:30 a.m. we’ve been wanting to work on this series for a while and we knew the SiBo’s were coming for a visit so thought it would be fun to get them out on the plains and on top of that have a chance to get some Colorado FTF’s. Love the series concept, love the history and love the hides.
Thanks for the fun!
