  • My County Works Activity Book
    My County Works A County Government Activity Book Dear Educators and Parents, The National Association of Counties, in partnership with iCivics, is proud to present “My County Works,” a county government activity book for children. It is designed to introduce students to counties’ vast responsibilities and the important role counties play in our lives every day. Counties are one of America’s oldest forms of government, dating back to 1634 when the first county governments (known as shires) were established in Virginia. The organization and structure of today’s 3,069 county governments are chartered under state constitutions or laws and are tailored to fit the needs and characteristics of states and local areas. No two counties are exactly the same. In Alaska, counties are called boroughs; in Louisiana, they’re known as parishes. But in every state, county governments are on the front lines of serving the public and helping our communities thrive. We hope that this activity book can bring to life the leadership and fundamental duties of county government. We encourage students, parents and educators to invite your county officials to participate first-hand in these lessons–to discuss specifically how your county works. It’s never too early for children to start learning about civics and how they can help make our communities better places to live, work and play. Please visit www.naco.org for more information about why counties matter and our efforts to advance healthy, vibrant, safe counties across the United States. Matthew Chase Executive Director National Association of Counties Partnering with iCivics The National Association of Counties and iCivics have developed a collection of civic education resources to help young people learn about county government.

The act provided: “Be it therefore enacted, by the Lieutenant-Governor, Council, and Burgesses, of this present General Assembly, and it is herby enacted, by the authority of the same, That from and immediately after the first day of May next ensuing, the said County of Prince George be divided into two counties; that is to say: All that part thereof, lying on the upper sided of the run which falls into Appomattox river, between the town of Blandford, and Bolling’s point warehouses, to the outermost line of the glebe land and by a south course to be run from said outermost line of the glebe land, to Surry County, shall be one distinct county, and called and known by the name Dinwiddie and all that other part thereof below the said run and course, shall be one other distinct county and retain the name of Prince George.

TWIXT OCEAN AND PINES: THE SEASIDE RESORT AT VIRGINIA BEACH, 1880-1930 Jonathan Mark Souther Master of Arts University of Richmond, 1996 Robert C. Kenzer, Thesis Director This thesis descnbes the first fifty years of the creation of Virginia Beach as a seaside resort. It demonstrates the importance of railroads in promoting the resort and suggests that Virginia Beach followed a similar developmental pattern to that of other ocean resorts, particularly those ofthe famous New Jersey shore. Virginia Beach, plagued by infrastructure deficiencies and overshadowed by nearby Ocean View, did not stabilize until its promoters shifted their attention from wealthy northerners to Tidewater area residents. After experiencing difficulties exacerbated by the Panic of 1893, the burning of its premier hotel in 1907, and the hesitation bred by the Spanish American War and World War I, Virginia Beach enjoyed robust growth during the 1920s. While Virginia Beach is often perceived as a post- World War II community, this thesis argues that its prewar foundation was critical to its subsequent rise to become the largest city in Virginia.

    Life In Caroline County 1 Introduction A Historical View County Government Demographics Conclusions CHAPTER 1 – LIFE IN CAROLINE COUNTY INTRODUCTION TO CAROLINE COUNTY Caroline County is located in the northeastern portion of Virginia along Interstate 95 approximately half way between the Virginia Capitol of Richmond and the City of Fredericksburg, as shown in Map 1.1. Bounded on the north by the Rappahannock River and the counties of King George and Stafford, it is approximately ninety miles from the nation’s capitol, Washington, D.C., and about 110 miles from Baltimore, Maryland. It is bordered by the counties of King & Queen and Essex to the east, by King William and Hanover Counties as well as the North Anna and Pamunkey Rivers to the south and Hanover and Spotsylvania Counties to the west. Caroline County is approximately thirty miles long and twenty miles wide and covers 562 square miles. With its mid-Atlantic location, Caroline County is within a day’s drive of over 65% of the nation’s popula- tion (see Map 1.2). There are two incorporated towns within Caroline County, Bowling Green and Port Royal. The Town of Bowling Green is located in the central portion of the County and serves as the County Seat, while the Town of Port Royal is located in the northeastern portion of the County along the Rappahannock River. A BRIEF HISTORICAL VIEW Caroline County was most likely founded in March of 1727, from the Counties of Essex, King & Queen, and King William. The County was formed in the first year of the reign of George II and took its name from the King’s wife, Queen Caroline.
