Comments
Campbellsburg is located in Washington County, which is infamous for having driven out its black population in the late nineteenth century. The legacy continued in the 20th century, as Campbellsburg’s population did not indicate any black residents in the twenetieth century either.
Here is an overview of the county’s decline of the black population:
1870 %u2013 15
1880 %u2013 3
1890 %u2013 9
1900 %u2013 5
1910 %u2013 8
1920 %u2013 1
Whereas there were 10 black households in 1870, there were none from 1880 to 1920.
