Established in 1899, with the granting of a post office, on land owned by D. C. McGregor. The school on Jumbo Ranch (in area settled in 1890s) was relocated here and Light began to grow. In 1905 anew, two-room school building was constructed. A decline set in, however, when the town of Fluvanna was surveyed in 1907 at terminus of the Roscoe, Snyder & Pacific Railroad. Soon citizens moved their buildings and belongings a mile west to be on the rails. Although town of Light has vanished, area still supplies water to Fluvanna. (1972)
