The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The area is named for Linton Hall Military School (now Linton Hall School), a school founded by Benedictine nuns on the site of the former Linton's Ford Plantation. Linton's Ford was inherited by Sister Mary Baptista, John Linton's daughter, and upon her death the land was inherited by the Benedictine order for the purpose of educating poor boys and girls. The Benedictine monastery remains part of the school through the present day.
Over the last century the Benedictine nuns sold most of the school property, primarily to real estate developers, which created the Braemar subdivision, a series of upscale housing developments with a large homeowners association.
