The Circuit was an African-American newspaper published in Catlett, Virginia from 1937 until 1954. It was described as "Virginia's only colored paper north of Richmond."[1] The Circuit was important to the African American communities in northern Virginia during the Jim Crow era.[2]
As of November 2013[update], only ten issues are known to still exist in archives, five at the Library of Virginia[3] and six at the archives of the Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County (AAHAFC) in The Plains, Virginia.[4] Information published in those available copies was important in documenting the historic nature of some African-American communities such as the Ashville Historic District.[5]
