The theme of the NHS Historical Calendar for 2019 is education in the towns of Nunda and Portage from pioneer times to the formation of Nunda and Portage Central Schools in the late 1930s. The back cover of the calendar features a map of the district schools found in Nunda in 1926. That same map is reproduced below.
This map not only shows the location of each district's one room school house, but also locates the various families that lived outside the village at the time.
It should be noted that the district numbers did change from time to time. For example, the school at Coopersville is listed as District 11 on this map, but District 13 on the town of Nunda 1872 map.
This original map is in the Nunda Historical Society's collection.
