County History
In
1744
, the
Virginia General Assembly
created Albemarle County by taking the northern portion of
Goochland
County
.
The county was named in honor of
Willem Anne van Keppel, 2nd Earl of Albemarle
and titular Governor of
Virginia at the time. The large county was divided in 1761, forming
Buckingham
and
Amherst
counties, at which
time the county seat was moved from the formerly-central
Scottsville
to a piece of newly-central land, christened
Charlottesville
.
President
Thomas Jefferson
was born in the county at
Shadwell
, though it was then part of
Goochland County
.
His
home of
Monticello
is located in Albemarle county, however.
Present Day
Albemarle County, Virginia today encompasses the communities of Batesville, Boyd Tavern, Campbell, Charlottesville, Cismont,
Cobham, Covesville, Crozet, Earlysville, Esmont, Free Union, Greenwood, Howardsville, Ivy, Keene, Keswick, Mission Home,
North Garden, Scottsville (part), Shadwell, White Hall, and Yancey Mills

, all municipalities in the state incorporated as cities are legally and politically
independent
of any county
