[1] Black-Foxe was founded in 1928 by Charles E. Toberman, a Hollywood developer and financier, along with two World War I veterans, Army Majors Earle Foxe and Harry Lee Black.
The new school took over the site of the former Urban Military Academy, where Black had been commandant.
[2] Foxe became president, Black commandant of cadets, and Major Harry Gaver as headmaster.
Black-Foxe attracted the sons of people in the film industry, thanks to its location and Foxe's Hollywood connections.
In 1986, the school's mortgage holder foreclosed on the campus and Black-Foxe closed permanently.
