Hampton (Va.) City Schools.

Elizabeth City County (extinct) was named for Elizabeth, daughter of James I, and was one of the eight shires established in 1634. Elizabeth City County became extinct in 1952, when the county and the town of Phoebus were incorporated into the city of Hampton, which was the county seat. Hampton adjoins the Chesapeake Bay on the south and east, Newport News on the west, York County and Poquoson on the north.

Prior to the 1952 merger of Hampton, Phoebus, and Elizabeth City County, the Division Superintendent was the administrator for three separate school systems, each with its own school board. Robert M. Newton was Elizabeth City County Schools Division Superintendent from 1924-1948 (Herbert M. Spain served as Acting Division Superintendent for a period in 1931), and C. Aton Lindsay was Division Superintendent from 1948 to 1952.
