  • Northern Neck Land Proprietary Records

    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.

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.

    SAINT PAUL AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORIC AND CULTURAL CONTEXT, 1837 TO 1975 Ramsey County, Minnesota May 2017 SAINT PAUL AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORIC AND CULTURAL CONTEXT, 1837 TO 1975 Ramsey County, Minnesota MnHPO File No. Pending 106 Group Project No. 2206 SUBMITTED TO: Aurora Saint Anthony Neighborhood Development Corporation 774 University Avenue Saint Paul, MN 55104 SUBMITTED BY: 106 Group 1295 Bandana Blvd. #335 Saint Paul, MN 55108 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Nicole Foss, M.A. REPORT AUTHORS: Nicole Foss, M.A. Kelly Wilder, J.D. May 2016 This project has been financed in part with funds provided by the State of Minnesota from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the Minnesota Historical Society. Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context ABSTRACT Saint Paul’s African American community is long established—rooted, yet dynamic. From their beginnings, Blacks in Minnesota have had tremendous impact on the state’s economy, culture, and political development. Although there has been an African American presence in Saint Paul for more than 150 years, adequate research has not been completed to account for and protect sites with significance to the community. One of the objectives outlined in the City of Saint Paul’s 2009 Historic Preservation Plan is the development of historic contexts “for the most threatened resource types and areas,” including immigrant and ethnic communities (City of Saint Paul 2009:12). The primary objective for development of this Saint Paul African American Historic and Cultural Context Project (Context Study) was to lay a solid foundation for identification of key sites of historic significance and advancing preservation of these sites and the community’s stories.

  • Alexandria and Belhaven a Case of Dual Identity

    Alexandria and Belhaven a Case of Dual Identity

    City of Alexandria Office of Historic Alexandria Alexandria Archaeology Studies of the Old Waterfront Alexandria and Belhaven A Case of Dual Identity By Diane Riker © 2009 We returned down the river about 16 miles to Alexandria or Belhaven, a small trading place in one of the finest situations imaginable. Archdeacon Burnaby, October 17591 For the first dozen years of its history, Alexandria, Virginia, was a town with two names. The majority of those who lived, worked and visited here on the crescent bay by the Potomac knew it as Alexandria, while some of its most prominent citizens called it Belhaven. Others, including mapmakers and the visiting archdeacon quoted above, accepted the difference and used both names. More than a century after the initial sales of Alexandria lots took place in mid-July 1749, the first comprehensive history of the town was written. Its author, William F. Carne, claimed that Belhaven had predated Alexandria by at least a decade. In his series of articles published in the Alexandria Gazette in the 1870s and 1880s,2 Carne described a bustling little community of merchants and their families residing at the river end of Oronoco Street as early as the 1730s.
