Founded in 1870, the Providence Magisterial District originally encompassed the communities of Andrew Chapel, Chesterbrook (Lincolnville), Dunn-Loring, East Woodford, Flint Hill (Oakton), Freedom Hill, Idylwood (Robey’s Station), Jermantown, Langley, Lewinsville, McLean, Odrick’s Corner, and for brief periods the villages of Fairfax Courthouse and Vienna. The Providence School District has suffered significant records loss. Surviving minutes of the School Trustees cover the period of September 1915 to February 1922.
