  • Northern Neck Land Proprietary Records
    The Virginia government always held legal jurisdiction over the area owned by the proprietary, so all court actions are found within the records of the counties that comprised it. The Library holds local records such Research Notes Number 23 as deeds, wills, orders, loose papers, and tax records of these counties, and many of these are on microfilm and available for interlibrary loan. Researchers will find that the proprietary records provide a unique doc- umentary supplement to the extant records of this region. The history of Virginia has been enriched by their survival. Northern Neck Land Proprietary Records Introduction The records of the Virginia Land Office are a vital source of information for persons involved in genealog- ical and historical research. Many of these records are discussed in Research Notes Number 20, The Virginia Land Office. Not discussed are the equally rich and important records of the Northern Neck Land Proprietary, also known as the Fairfax Land Proprietary. While these records are now part of the Virginia Land Office, they were for more than a century the archive of a vast private land office owned and oper- ated by the Fairfax family. The lands controlled by the family comprised an area bounded by the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers and stretched from the Chesapeake Bay to what is now West Virginia. It embraced all or part of the cur- rent Virginia counties and cities of Alexandria, Arlington, Augusta, Clarke, Culpeper, Fairfax, Fauquier, Frederick, Greene, King George, Lancaster, Loudoun, Madison, Northumberland, Orange, Page, Prince William, Rappahannock, Shenandoah, Stafford, Warren, Westmoreland, and Winchester, and the current West Virginia counties of Berkeley, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, and Morgan.

In late spring of 2014, VDOT staff met with the Location 14- Lancaster County Northern Neck Planning District Commission staff, County Administrators and several supervisors, including King George Location 11- Richmond County County, to initiate a study of the Route 3 corridor.

Introduction The Williamsburg Civic Association (WCA) was established in 1951 to promote the ge- neral welfare of the residents of the Williamsburg community. With approximately 1100 households, Williamsburg is an attractive neighborhood in North Arlington boun- ded by Sycamore Street, North 27th Street, North Trinidad Street, North 37th Street, and North Kensington Street. The community of Williamsburg is composed primarily of single-family residences, with two small strip shopping centers containing a variety of commercial retail establishments. Williamsburg is served well by arterial roads, public transportation, and other community services. With close proximity to the District of Columbia, award-winning schools, as well as quiet and safe neighborhoods, Williamsburg remains an extremely desirable place to live, work, and raise a family. The residents of Williamsburg are committed to main- taining the community’s beauty and appeal and working with County staff and offi- cials to influence its future development. The WCA Neighborhood Conservation Plan (NCP) captures the community’s vision for its future and also provides a rationale for potential requests for funding for commu- nity capital improvement programs.
