Black Towns Project Archive This archive supports the Black Towns Project - an effort to preserve and promote the stories of over 200 historically black towns in the United States.

The Black Towns Project is an effort to preserve and promote the continued study of these crucial, and sometimes forgotten, stories from America’s past. We invite you to browse our Black Towns Index (categorized by state and town) on the website and explore the history of these important town-building efforts. This site is still under construction, but the complete list of towns by state is available to browse. The Black Towns Project will continue to add information and town histories, and invites those who do not see a town on the list to submit it through our Submit a Black Town page. If you would like to moderate a black town page, please visit our Moderate a Black Town’s Page to sign-up.

⚠️ Attention Visitors! ⚠️

The Township Hall is getting a new roof! A crew from the Historic Preservation Training Center (HPTC) will be on site for the next 2-3 weeks for this project.

The Township Hall will still be open, but a hard hat zone is in place around most of the building.

Please follow safety signs and yield to crew members during your visit!
