Baltimore County School Board members voted to name the new northeast area elementary school Vincent Farm in honor of the historic family who once owned the property ? to the delight of descendants and longtime residents who pressed for the moniker.

The unanimous vote Tuesday night upheld what many officials and residents had assumed since county funds were entered into this year?s capital budget for Vincent Farm Elementary. Residents who said they refused to accept any other alternatives ? including White Marsh, Ebenezer and Bird River ? celebrated the news but called it a compromise.
