Charlottesville Neighborhoods - Starr Hill
by: admin on 2007-02-27 @ 8.38:28 pm
"This area was just called Fifth Street. My family didn't call it "Starr Hill." That name has been used a lot since the redevelopment began. The name originated in earlier days when some folks called it Starr Hill because most of the prominent Blacks lived up on the hill here. It was up high, and they prided themselves because they owned their own homes here--no one rented. Quite a few of the ministers lived here. We didn't know anything about "blacks" then. Everyone used the word "Negro." Whites and blacks lived together in the neighborhood until segregation was legally promoted and then the whites moved away. Almost all the houses on Oak Street were owned by whites. My neighborhood was close-knit and friendly. Many of the residents were railroad workers, both black and white. (Source: an oral history of Charlottesville) I cannot hope to capture the history and character of this particular neighborhood, so I won't even try; It remains one of my personal favorites in the City. From a location point of view, this neighborhood is one of the best. Read about all the neighborhoods I have covered here.
