Noted regional educator. A teacher and principal at private schools, Binford was unanimously elected superintendent of Richmond's public school system in 1870, only one year after Richmond had established its first public schools. In 1871, Richmond's schools formally became part of Virginia's new public school system. An effective and innovative administrator, Binford sought to bring Richmond's schools to national standards. Binford's grave is marked by a monument placed there by Richmond's public school teachers.
