High View Park
High View Park is a neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia, United States. Its approximate borders are Lee Highway to the north, North George Mason Drive to the west, Slater Park to the east. The southern boundary is a wall, built in the 1930s to separate it from the white neighborhood of Woodlawn Park.
Prior to the Civil War, the area was owned by a slaveholder named Bazil Hall. During the war, the area was repeatedly ravaged by troops from both sides. After the war, Hall sold much of the property to former slaves. Hall was eventually reimbursed approximately $10,000 for damages.
The area was later merged with an adjacent area known as High View Park.
The first four African-American students to integrate public schools in Virginia were residents of High View Park, attending the formerly all-white H-B Woodlawn in February 1959. Douglas E. Moore served as pastor of the Calloway Church in High View Park for three years.
