"History of High View Park & Hall's Hill

High View Park, originally known and still treasured as Hall's Hill, is the oldest enclave in Northern Virginia that was settled shortly after the Civil War by newly freed slaves. The community's origin derived from two distinct names. Halls Hill, initially singled out as the upper section of the community, originated from a portion of the estates of William Marcey and Bazil Hall, who sold most of his land to his freed slaves for about sixty cents an acre and from whom the community takes its name; High View,Park, was referred to as "the bottom of the hill" or lower section of the community, until 1965 when it was renamed to include the entire area because of its spectacular view in the County. High View Park has maintained its identity as one of the few surviving predominately Black communities in Arlington County for over 100 years, and holds the distinction of fostering at least four generations of Black families whose roots date back to the founding of the community.
