KING'S HIGHWAY SEGREGATED

King's Highway Segregated is a public school that is part of the Westport School District school district, located in Westport, CT.

The address 125 Post Road West in Westport, Connecticut, is historically significant for housing the **King’s Highway School**, which operated during a period when the town maintained segregated facilities. In the early 20th century, specifically during the 1920s and 30s, this site served as the segregated schoolhouse for Westport's Black students. The school represents a chapter of local history where, despite being located in a Northern state, Westport enforced a policy of racial separation in its educational system, mirroring the broader social exclusions of the era.

Today, the site stands as a point of historical reflection regarding the evolution of civil rights and integration in Westport. The existence of the King’s Highway School is frequently studied by local historians and researchers who examine how the town’s demographics and racial landscape have shifted over the last century. While the building is no longer used for its original purpose, it remains a tangible landmark of the town's complex history with systemic segregation and the eventual transition toward an integrated public school system.
