Centerville Industrial Institute
Centerville Industrial School, later the Bibb County Training School was a school for African American students in Centerville, Alabama, the county seat of Bibb County. The school was founded in 1900 and opened in October of that same year, and its teachers and the principal were African American. Henry D. Davidson, sometimes called Henry Damon, served as teacher and principal, and his wife Lula also worked at the school until her death in 1903.
It was the only school of higher learning and advanced training for Black students in or adjacent to Bibb County at the time.
