Question

I am trying to locate either the name of the school or school district (i.e. City or County) that first required public schools to teach both male and female students. I know that in 1789 Massachusetts was the first state to make this requirement but I have not been able to find anything that states the name of the first school or school district that did so. Can you tell me where to find this information?

My very hazy understanding was that early primary schools taught both boys and girls.

You may get some leads in these articles.
