During a conversation about Calpurnia's educational background, Scout and Jem find out that the older woman was originally from Finch's Landing. Finch's Landing is the longtime family estate of the Finch family. It was where their father grew up. It was also, as they discover, where Calpurnia grew up.
Finch's Landing is located on the river, not far from Maycomb, Alabama. In her younger years, Calpurnia "grew up down there between the Buford Place and the Landin'" (To Kill a Mockingbird, Chapter 12). Calpurnia spent nearly her whole life working for either the Finch family or the Buford family. Miss Buford was the person who had taught Calpurnia how to read. Miss Buford was the aunt of Miss Maudie Atkinson. Calpurnia lived at Finch's Landing even before Atticus, because she is older than him. She only left when Atticus got married and he and his wife moved to Maycomb. Calpurnia also moved to work for them.
