PAGE COUNTY, Va. (WHSV) Following months of conducting a study and brand research, Lord Fairfax Community College has decided to change its name after 50 years of serving the community.
Over the summer, every Virginia community college was asked by the State Board of Community Colleges to look at names with racist ties following mass protests across the country.
According to a release from the college, the name Lord Fairfax was chosen in 1969, a year before the college opened. The original college board chose the name in part for its link to the region’s colonial history.
