Accomack, together with North Hampton county in 1634, constitute one of the eight original shires into which Virginia was divided, and what is known as the ” Eastern Shore ” of Virginia. In 1642 it changed its name to Northampton, but in 1663 recurred its original name, taken from hat of a tribe of Indians (Accawmacke), who first inhabited this section of the State. It is bounded on he north by the State of Maryland, South by Northampton county, Va. east by the Atlantic Ocean, and west by the Chesapeake Bay. It has an area of 388 1/2, square miles (248,605 acres), and the land has an average assessed value of $13 per acre. This county is indented on the east and rest by numerous sounds, inlets and maller water courses, which are more or less farmed by Oyster planters and being navigable nearly their entire length, furnish means of transportation to the markets of the large cities of the North and East. The New York. Philadelphia and Norfolk railroad greatly facilitates intercourse and business communication between the people of our own and other States and this section, and make it one of the most favored portions of Virginia. Besides this great actuary of trade the Eastern Shore Steamboat Company gives daily communication with Baltimore from the Pocomoke River, as far down as Hungers Creek, in Northampton, while, during the trucking season, steamers and sail vessels command the creeks leading to the Ocean. Accomack is chiefly renowned for the great production and superior excellence of its sweet potatoes of which it raises four times as much as any outer county, and more than one-fourth of the whole quantity in the State. Varied trucking with the growth of large and small fruits in constantly increasing acreage, bid fair to make in this county a formidable rival to the richly developed lands of Norfolk county. In the growth of Irish potatoes it ranks second, Norfolk being first. Corn, oats and wheat are plentifully produced, and the dairy products are more than sufficient for the needs of the people. Besides oysters of unequalled quality and favor, fish in great variety and finest kinds abound, and are made a source of revenue as well as an important article of food to the inhabitants. Horses, cattle and sheep are raised to large extent, though this enterprise has until late years been much neglected. The educational facilities in this county are very good, there being a number of excellent private as well as sixty-four white and eighteen colored public schools. The principal religious denominations have churches in various parts of the county, in which large congregations hold services weekly.

Albemarle County, situated at the eastern base of the Blue Ridge mountains, in the far-famed Piedmont region of Virgion, was erected form Goochland in 1744, and is one of the largest, richest and most populous in the State. Ity has for its boundaries on the east the counties of Fluvanna and Louisa; north, Orange and Greene; west, Nelson county and the Blue Ridge mountains which divide it from Augusta, and south, James river, which separates it from Buckingham. The lands in this county which are of a superior quality and in a high state of cultivation are watered and drained in the north by the Rivanna and South Hardware rivers and their tributaries. The Richmond and Alleghany railroad skirts its southern border, while the Chesapeake and Ohio Route travers it from east towest, and the Virginia Midland from north to south. The principal ceral productions are corn, rye, oats, wheat and tobacco. There are a number of large mills, which manufacture in great quantities and superior quality; and the cotton and wollen goods are not surpassed by those made in any other section of the United States. In the value and charater of orchard productions Albemarle is the third county in the State. The Albemarle pippin grown here has a reputation which is world wide. Grape culture is extensively carried on, the principal and most profitable varities being the Concord, Ives, Clinton, and Norton’s Virginia. The minerals found in the county are gold, iron, lead, slate, limestone, sandstone, and soapstone. The timbers are oak, chestnut, walnut, locust, pine hickory, chestnut, walnut, locust, pine, hickory, poplar, maple and beech. Charlottesville, Howardsville, and Scottsville are the principle towns, but there are several other thriving villages of mercantile importance. Shadwell on the Rivanna river, is noted for having been the birthplace of Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson built here in 1806 large flouring mills, and a portion of the walls are still standing. The educational facilities are very great, for besides the University of Virginia (which will be treated in a separate sketch0, there are a large number of private schools and academies for both male and female. One of the finest institutions of the State, and where an incalculable amount of good is being done in the elevation and ennobling of labor, is the Miller Manual Labor School, found by Samuel Miller of Lynchburg, Va. Here boys are taught English, Latin, German, French mathematics, natural philosophy and chemistry, besides receiving a good industrial training in the mechanical and agricultural arts. The county has an ares of 725 1/3 square miles (464,262 acres), and the land has an average assessed value of $11.69 per acre.

Charlottesville

Charlottesville, the county seat of Albemarle, is beautifully and healthfully situtated in the picturesque valley of the Rivanna between the Blue Ridge and Southwest Mountains, at the intersection of the Virginia Midland and Chesapeake and Ohio Railways. It is renowed for being the seat of the University of Virginia, founded in 1819, and for its close proximity to Monticello, which signifies “little mountain,” the residence and burial place of Thomas Jefferson, the immortal founder of the Institutution. The University is very justly the pride of the State, and is in a very flourishing condition, its classes being always filled with the most respectable young men from all parts of the Union.

Charlottesville is 97 miles distant by rail from Richmond, 117 from Washington. The population 6,000, and the society most excellent. The bar of Charlottesville ranks high, some of the most eminent jurists in the State being located here. There are several private besides two graded public schools. There are also a large number of mercantile and manufacturing establishments, besides two banks, two hotels, two weekly newspapers, and one monthly magazine devoted to farming and the grape culture.

Alexandria county, in 1801, at the time it was ceded to the General Government, was a part of Fairfax county. After its retrocession in 1847, it was made a separate county and named after its principal city. The lands are generally of good quality, and where cultivated readily produce good crops. Some corn, wheat, oats, and rye is raised, but the people pay more attention to the cultivation of irish and sweet potatoes and the fruits and dairy products which find ready sale in the Washington markets. The county is bounded on the north, west and south by Fairfax county, and on the east by the Potomac river.

The Alexandria canal runs through the county from north to south, connecting at Georgetown with the Cheasapeake and Ohio canal for Haper’s Ferry and Cumberland. The Virginia Midland, Alexandria and Washington City, Alexandria and Fredericksburg and the Washington, Ohio and Western railroads furnish means of transportation to all points. The area is the smallest in the State, being but 28 2/3 square miles (18,187 acres). The average assessed value of the land is $43.79 per acre.

Arlington the former home of the Custis and Lee’s in this county opposite Georgetown was confiscated by the Federal Government during the late war, and a portion of it was used as one of the places of burial for those who fell in those fierce and sanguine contests. Nineteen years after the termination of the war, Congress passes a bill to pay Gen. G. W. C. Lee for the property. The portion not taken up by the graves has been given to the negroes, and they have established what is called the Freedmen’s village. Hunting Creek, forming the Southern boundary of the city of Alexandria, is a beautiful sheet of water, and has a depth of fifteen or twenty feet. It is a safe harbor for the vessels while waiting to be taken on the ways of the extensive ship building company recently established at Alexandria or which cannot find good or safe anchorage at Washington.

This county was formed in 1822 from Bath, Botetourt, and Monroe, and has an area of 724 2/3 square miles. Is bounded on the north by Bath, south by Rich Patch and Middle mountains, which divide it from Botetourt and Craig counties, east by Rockbridge, and on the west by the Alleghany chain of mountains, which separate it from Greenbrier county, West Virginia, from which mountains it derives its name. The surface is for the most part mountainous. This region contains large deposits of iron ore, the development of which has recently become a subject of interest to capitalists, many of whom have invested large means in the purchase of lands and erection of furnaces to the end of the manufacture of iron. The Chesapeake and Ohio railway traverses the county connecting with the Richmond and Alleghany railroad at Clifton Forge, in this county, the present western terminus. The Peters and Warm Springs mountains extend through the county in unbroken range, except at Covington at which point there is a narrow gap through which the Jackson winds its way. The passage of the Jackson river through White’s mountain is a majestic feature of the sublime natural scenery of this county.

The northern and middle portion of the county is watered by the Jackson and Cow Pasture rivers, which unite in Botetourt, near the Alleghany line, and form the James. The rich valleys of the south are watered by Pott’s and Dunlap’s creeks, the principal branches of the Jackson river.

Covington, the county seat, on Jackson river, is also an important station on the Chesapeake and Ohio railway, two hundred and five miles from Richmond and twelve miles from Clifton Forge, the junction of the Chesapeake and Ohio with the Richmond and Alleghany railroad. Low Moor, on the Chesapeake and Ohio road, eight miles from Covington, is the place of location of the Low Moor Iron Works, which manufacture one hundred and twenty-five tons of iron daily, and employ about six hundred men. There is not only an abundance of corn, oats and wheat besides the dairy and orchard products raised for the uses of the people, but a surplus for market. The raising of live stock is one of the principal industries of the farming population.

As there is so much mountain land in this county the average assessed value is small, being but $3.12 per acres.

This county was formed in 1845 from parts of Buckingham, Charlotte, Campbell and Prince Edward, and has an area of 328 square miles, 201,280 acres. It lies on the south side of James river, and is bounded on the east of Buckingham county, south of Campbell, Charlotte, and Prince Edward, west by Campbell, north by Buckingham, nelson, and Amherst, from which it is separated by James River. The lands are naturally of a fine productive quality, yielding fine crops of tobacco, wheat, corn &c. The minerals are gold, iron, copper, manganese and asbestos. It is traversed by the Norfolk and Western railroad, which extends through the country from east to west, while its northern boundary is skirted by the Richmond and Alleghany railroad. The county seat (Appomattox C.H.) Has become famous in history as being the near the scene of the last struggle of the Southern Confederacy for its independence. This region abounds in large mineral deposits, chief of which iron, is found in large quantities in all the northern part of the county. Average assessed value of lands $4.25 per acre.

Augusta was formed from Orange, in 1738 and is next to Rockingham, the largest county in the state, having 1,033 square miles, or 666,163 acres. Rockingham county bounds it on the north, the Blue Ridge Mountains on the east, dividing it from Albemarle and Nelson, Rockbridge on the south and the Shenandoah Mountains on its western border, dividing it from Bath and Highland counties and the State of West Virginia. It is at the head of the Shenandoah Valley at its widest part. The North, South and Middle rivers, which form the Shenandoah, water and have their rise in this county. The lands (which have an average assessed value of $13.04 per acre) are immensely rich and productive, and yield large crops of wheat, corn, oats, rye and the grasses. Augusta, in 1880, was the first county in the State in the production of wheat and the Hay crop, raising 522,341 bushels of wheat and 23,931 tons of hay. In the number of horses it ranked first; milch cows third; in butter making and value of farm products second.

The numerous mountain ranges in the eastern and western parts of the county afford excellent pasturage for horses and cattle and stock of all kinds. Augusta is noted for the large number and superior excellence of its flouring mills, having a larger number and employing more capital than any other county in the State except Henrico, in which the extensive mills of Richmond city are located. There are several distilleries with large capital engaged in the manufacture of very superior whiskey. The timbers found in this county are chestnut, walnut, oak,pine, ash and poplar. The minerals are iron, manganese, marble, slate, coal, kaolin, ocre and limestone. There are many valuable mineral springs, which have acquired celebrity because of their medicinal properties that are visited annually by large numbers, residents of other States as well as of Virginia. The Cyclopean Towers and Madison Cave, near Mount Solon, and Weyers Cave, sixteen miles northeast of Staunton, are among the greatest curiosities of the State. The educational advantages will be set forth in the Staunton description which follows the county matter.

Staunton, the county seat of Augusta, is on the Chesapeake and Ohio and Valley Branch of B & O railways, at an altitude of 1,500 feet above the level of and 175 miles distant from the sea. It was incorporated in 1871, is the principal city in the Valley of the Shenandoah, and is the point of population the eighth city
of Virginia. The climate of Staunton is delightfully salubrious and healthful – its high mountain ranges protecting it from the severe storms that sweep the Atlantic coast on the east and the Mississippi Valley on the west. The Western Lunatic Asylum and the Virginia Institution for the Education of the Deaf, Dumb and Blind are points of interest and worthy objects of the support extended by the State and the pride felt in them by her people. They are imposing and magnificient structures, surrounded by beautifully improved grounds, where the inmates find recreation and enjoyment. In respect to the educational advantages offered by the Female Colleges, we simply call attention to the advertisement of each, in which not alone the school, but the city as well is fully and beautifully described. Staunton bids fair to become very soon the center of large iron manufacturing interests, there being already operated here several machine shops and agricultural implement manufacturing establishments. There are several other manufactories of different kinds besides a large number of first-class mercantile concerns which do a safe and profitable business. The hotel accommodations are excellent and ample, the Virginia Hotel being one of the best in the Valley.

Bath County

Population in 1880-White, 3,571 Colored, 961; Total, 4,482.
County Seat, Warm Springs — population, 300.

Value of real estate, 1886: $848,564.04
Value of personal property: $319,408.00

Bath was organized in 1790 from parts of Augusta, Botetourt, and Greenbrier It contains 619,040 acres, which have an average assessed value of $1.37 per acre. This county is thickly studded with numerous mountain ranges, which furnish excellent pasturage for the horses, cattle and sheep that are annually raised here. The valley lands, though small in area, are quite rich, and produce good crops of corn, oats and wheat. The dairy and orchard products are more than sufficient for the need of the people. In point of population Bath is one of the smallest counties in the State, Warwick and Craig only being smaller. The Alleghany mountains bound Bath on the west, dividing it from the State of West Virginia. Mill and Walker’s mountains on the east separate it from Rockbridge and Augusta, while the counties of Highland and Alleghany bound it on the north and south. The Warm Springs mountains divide the county into two nearly equal parts, the eastern of which is drained and watered by the headwaters of the Cow Pasture nitti the western by the headwaters of the Jackson river. The Newport News and Mississippi Valley railway enters the county of Panther Gap, and extends through It fifteen miles, going out over the Cow Pasture river at the extreme southeastern limit: The climate is dry, healthy and invigorating, and the scenery unsurpassed in the mountains of Virginia. Iron ore, of different variety and in large quantities, is found here.

Bath, more than any other county in Virginia, is celebrated for its mineral springs, the remedial and restorative properties of which have so often been tried to good effect, after the resources of medical science have been exhausted in vain. Of these health-giving fountains the Warm Sulphur Springs were the first known to the white man. Soon after their discovery they became celebrated for their curative virtues, and even ninety years ago they were resorted to by many visitors at much labor and fatigue. They are five miles from the Hot, eight from the Healing, five from the Bath Alum, and only a few hours’ ride from the famous Green brier White Sulphur, the Sweet, the Sweet Chalybeate and the Rock bridge Alum Springs.

Warm Springs is the county seal and has a population of about thre hundred. It is delightfully situate in the richest and most fertile part of the Warm Springs Valley. The little village of Germantown, one quarter of a mile below, nestled tween the mountains, affords visitor much pleasure. Blowing Cave, in this county, is one of the great natu rat curiosities of the State. It is of the road between the Warm any Millboro’ Springs, and near the latter.

County Seat Liberty – Population 2,500

This county was formed in 1753 from Lunenburg, and has an area of 769 1/3 square miles, or 492,359 acres. The average value of land is $6.63 per acre. It lies at the eastern base of the Blue Ridge mountains, which form the natural boundaries between it and the counties of Botetourt and Roanoke on the west. The James river skirts and forms its northern boundary dividing it from Amherst, while the Staunton river shapes and bounds it on the south, separating it from Franklin.

The Richmond and Alleghany railroad, extending along the south branch of the James river in this county, and the Norfolk and Western through its middle part from east to west, furnishes convenient, rapid and cheap transportation to all the principal markets of the North and West.

The county is irrigated by the waters of Goose creek and Otter river, the latter giving name to the celebrated Peaks of Otter, the sublime and magnificent grandeur of which it has inspired the soul of the poet, and moved to noble effort the pencil of the artist. They are the loftiest, with few exceptions, in the Southern States, having an altitude above the level of the sea of over 5,200 feet, or over a mile. They can be distinctly seen on clear days from Lunenburg, in Campbell county, 25 miles distant.

This is one of the richest, most productive and thickly settled counties in the valley of the James, yielding annually large crops of wheat, corn, rye, oats and tobacco. In 1880 it ranked in the production of oats, second, tobacco third; in the number of horses raised, sixth; mules fifth; and fourth as to number of mulch cows, quantity of butter, and value of orchard products. The character of the mountain lands in the western part of the State is most excellent for grazing, and some of the finest specimens of horses, cattle and sheep are raised on them. This count is rich in minerals, iron, barites, mica, slate, lead and limestone being found in large quantities and of superior quality. The timber land is extensive and valuable – the principal kinds being chestnut, walnut, hickory, pine and white oak.

Liberty, the county seat, on the Norfolk and Western railroad, is the important and flourishing centre of a fertile and beautiful country. It has a large number of tobacco manufacturing and other concerns, besides two banking institutions and many mercantile houses of good business standing.

Bland was formed in 1860 from Wythe, Tazewell and Giles. It is one of the mountain counties, bordering on West Virginia, and if it has any internal improvements they have not been reported. There seems, however, to be some hopes of a narrow guage road being built here at no distant period. This county is very mountainous, and but thinly settled, it being in point of population the fourth smallest in the State. It has for its boundary on the north the East River Mountains, separating it from Monroe County, West Virginia; on the south, Walker’s Mountain, which divides it from Wythe County; Tazewell bounds it on the north and west, and Giles and Pulaski on the east.

The Valley lands are very rich, and where cultivated readily produce good crops of corn, rye, oats, wheat and the grasses. The county is watered by Walkers and Wolf creeks, and branches which are tributaries of the New River. There are several mineral springs, the Sharon Alum bring the most celebrated. The minerals found in this county are coal, iron, lead, zinc and silver. The timbers are pine, walnut, oak, poplar, and ash. There are a large number of saw mills, and much lumber is shipped. Bland Courthouse, situated in the valley formed by the Brushy and Walkers Mountains is a busy little place of about 325 inhabitants, distant twenty miles from Wytheville, the nearest railroad station on the Norfolk and Western Railroad. The area of the county is 297 7/8 square miles, or 190,587 acres and the land has an average assessed value of $2.32 per acre.

Buchanan was formed in 1858 from Russell and Tazewell and named in honor of President Buchanan. It is on the western slope of the Dividing Ridge of the Alleghany Mountains, which separate it from McDowell County, W.Va., and Russell and Tazewell counties, Virginia. Dickenson, the greater portion of which was taken from this county in 1880, bounds it on the south and the State of Kentucky on the west. This is a very rough and mountainous county, and there being no internal improvements, very inaccessible. The Big Sandy river bounds its extreme northern limits and waters the county by its Louisa and New Garden forks. But little of the land is under cultivation, the census of 1880 reporting but 22,330 of 1,040,881 acres that at that time formed its area. A considerable quantityu of corn and some rye, oats and wheat is raised. The vegetable and orchard productions are sufficient for home consumption, while those of the dairy are the source of considerable revenue. The land on the hills is well suited for the raising of horses, cattle of all kinds and sheep. The minerals are iron, salt and coal, and the timber pine, oak, walnut, hickory and chestnut. The area of the county is 2,294 square miles or 1,468,145 acres [seriously in error], and the average assessed value is 19 cents per acre.

This county was formed in 1842 from Grayson, and borders on North Carolina. Pulaski and Wythe bound it on the north, Floyd and Patrick on the east, and its mother county and Wythe on the west. The county is plentifully watered by the New river and several of its tributary creeks or forks. Patrick on the east and Wythe and Pulaski on the north and west are cut off by the Blue Ridge and Alleghany mountains respectively. These mountain ranges are specially adapted for the pasturage of horses, cattle and sheep, large numbers of which are raised. The land readily produces corn, rye, oats, wheat, and the grasses; some tobacco is also grown.

Hillsville, the county seat, population 300, is on Little Reed Island Creek, a branch of New River, about the center of the county, 28 miles from Wytheville, on the Norfolk and Western railroad, with whcih place it has daily mail connection. The area of the county is 551 1/3 square miles, 352,849 acres, and the land has an average assessed value of $1.56 per acre.

Craig County was erected in 1851 from Botetourt and Roanoke, and borders on the State of West Virginia, from which it is separated by the Alleghany Mountains. Alleghany bounds it on the north, Roanoke, Montgomery and Giles on the south, and Botetourt on the east. The corn and other crops, except grass, are small–not more than sufficient for home use being raised. It has, however, a high reputation for the raising of stock of fine quality. The minerals are iron, manganese, and slate. The timbers are oak, hickory, ash and poplar. The county is watered by the Potts, John’s, Sinking, and Craig creeks. New Castle, the county seat, on Craig’s Creek, at the foot of North mountain, is the most important town in the county. Its population is 182. There is a daily mail between here and Salem on the Norfolk and Western road, twenty three miles distant. The area is 404? square miles, of 258,727 acres, and the land has an average assessed value of $2.18 per acre.

Elizabeth City was one of the eight original shires established in 1634, and in area the second smallest county in the State, Alexandria only being smaller. It lies on Hampton Roads, with the Chesapeake bay on the east and Back river on the north, thus being almost entirely surrounded by water. York county is on the north and Warwick on the west. The Newport News and Mississippi Valley Company extends into this county, facilitating the western travel very much. The products of the county are corn, oats and wheat. Fruit and vegetables of all kinds grow well here, and the dairy product is considerable. A large number of the inhabitants are engaged in the crab and oyster fisheries.

Hampton, the county court-houx, is a flourishing town and port, and the seat of that noble Institution, the Hampton Normal and Agriculture Institute. It is a State institution, and is now one of the most prosperous. Its departments are varied, and very necessary and beneficial. It includes the following branches: Military, an engineer’s, a girl’s work, printing office and other industrial features.

Old Point, at the junction of Chesapeake Bay with Hampton Roads, is a favorite summer resort, and one of the finest on the Atlantic coast It has a superior beach for bathing, and the boating and fishing are especially attractive. The United States school of artillery practice is located here, Fortress Monroe being within one hundred yards of the Point.

Elizabeth City has an area of 49 2/3 square miles, 37,873 acres, and the land has an average assessed value of $34.13 per acre.

This county was formed from (Old), Rappahannock in 1692. It lies on the south-side of the Rappahannock river, about forty miles northeast from Richmond. The county seat Tappahannock, is a port of entry, and contains about 600 inhabitants. The surface of the county is slightly hilly and its soil, except on the margin of the streams, generally sandy. It pro. duces good crops of corn, wheat and oats, while polates and other vegetables are cultivated, and with the dairy products, are sources of much revenue. There is connection with Baltimore by steamers three times a week, Fredericksburg four times and Norfolk twice a week, and is very ac cessible to all the markets.

The shad and herring fisheries of this countv are valuable, many men and vessels being employed in them. The cattle raised here is very fine, the greater part being shipped to Baltimore. The county has an area of 252 2/3 square miles, 161,684 acres, and the land has an average assessed value of $5.21 per acre.

This county was formed in 1831 from Montgomery and named in honor of John Floyd, the then Governor. It is bounded north by Montgomery and Roanoke, south by Patrick, east by Franklin, and west by Pulaski and Carroll, and lives between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany mountains ranges. The surface is generally mountainous and well adapted to grazing. The products are tobacco, corn, rye, oats, wheat, buckwheat–in which it stands first–and the grasses. The orchard and diary productions are large and valuable. The Little river, a branch of New River, and its several forks, water the county. The minerals are gold, iron, copper, lead, manganese, asbestos, plumbago, and soapstone.

For the last few years the gold excitement has been at a very high pitch, and recent investigations by northern capitalists has shown that gold is to be found in quantities, and, in fact, sales of land and leases have already been made at marvellous prices. Many of the peaks of the mountains afford excellent views of surrounding country, and particularly the famous Buffalo Knob, which is frequently visited by excursion parties.

Jacksonville, the county seat, is near the centre of the county, and is a thriving inland town of near 500 inhabitants. Hylton is a prosperous little village, situated eleven miles west of the county seat. Graysville, Copper Hill, and Turtle Rock situated in the northern and western portion of this county, are villages of growing importance. The area of the county is 378? square miles, or 242,296 acres, and the land has an average assessed value of $3.54 per acre.
