Brief History
Albemarle
County was formed in 1744 by an act of the General Assembly. Its original land
area included today's counties of Amherst, Buckingham, Fluvanna, and Nelson,
much of Appomattox and part of Campbell. Albemarle County assumed its present
boundaries in 1777. It was named in honor of William Ann Keppel, second Earl of
Albemarle, who was then governor of the colony. The first county seat was
located in Scottsville. In 1761, however, county government was moved to
Charlottesville, which was established as a town in 1762 and established as a
city on 1888.
