Back in the day, it was about geography. Students traveled to these schools by train or horse and buggy. It wasn't about the population of the areas, but about access to an education. The 4 county north central region covers 4360 square acres, while the southwest corner counties mentioned covers 3273 acres. That's a lot of mileage to cover when your walking to school in deep snow pulling a goat.
And commuting through the mountains for an 8:00am math class.
