Developed in 1946 and marketed to African American Veterans. While segregated, the development offered the first chance for African Americans to buy newly constructed, quality housing in Columbus. Homes were available for about $6,500. In the 1960s, I-70 was routed through the neighborhood and some homes were lost.

  • I grew up in Hanford Village. A subdivision of small cape cod homes were built in 1946 and marketed to African American veterans returning from service in WWII. My father was a Tuskegee airman and he purchased a home in the new development for our family after he was discharged from the military. Everybody knew each other and parents watched out for all the children in the neighborhood. A true "village". My father passed away in the 1980s and my mother lived there until 2009. It was a great place to grow up in the 50s and 60s.
