Longview School - District No. 7

Longview School - District No. 7 - Sand Creek Township

Longview was in the extreme southeast corner of Meade County, just two miles west of the Clark County line and two miles north of the Oklahoma Border. Englewood was the address of the officers and many of the students. The school was formed May 31, 1885, on Section 3-T35-R36 on land owned by Wolford Wyatt, and held school there until 1939. It was disorganized January 5, 1946, and became District 79 and was disorganized in 1950, then attached to Joint Union (Meade & Clark Counties) then 220 (Clark County.)

The school is sometimes referred to as Longview, sometimes Seminery.

Clearlake was also in District #7, but was said to be a different school, but maps show it in the same location. Many things are a mystery about this school.

There was a Public Auction held on Monday, July 22, 1946, for the purpose of selling the Longview school and all it's fixtures.

The schoolhouse was listed as 28 x 38 ft., also sold was a barn and 2 outdoor toilets, a merry-go-round, piano, furnace stove, teacher's desk and chair, 20 desks, sand table, dictionary and stand, Coleman lantern, bookcase and books, pump, 80 ft. of pipe and cylinder and other miscellaneous items..
