Stevens County Administrator Jason Purse Assistant County Administrator Bradley Rinehimer Assistant County Administrator iii COUNTY PROFILE HISTORY James City County, Virginia, which was originally named James Towne, was one of Virginia’s eight original “shires” formed in 1634. James Towne was the administrative center or capitol of the English settlements on the peninsula. During the American Revolution, James City County was the scene of many significant events. The Chickahominy Shipyard was established in 1777 to build Virginia’s navy, but was burned by British troops in April 1781. James City County became a combat zone during the Civil War, raided at will by troops of both armies. During World War I, the peninsula served as a center for troop training and embarkation, munitions manufacturing, and supply storage. In 2007, the nation observed the 400th anniversary of the settlers’ landing at Jamestown, with a visit from Queen Elizabeth II. James City County’s most important historical treasure was Jamestown Island, which was saved from both desecration and commercialization by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA). Since 1934 when the National Park Service was created, the two organizations have worked together to protect and develop the island as an important historical site. FORM OF GOVERNMENT James City County (County) operates under the traditional, or County Administrator, form of government (as defined under Virginia Law). The Board of Supervisors (Board) is a five-member body, elected by the voters of the Electoral District in which they live. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Board are elected annually by its members. Each member serves a four-year term. This body enacts ordinances, appropriates funds, sets tax rates, establishes policies and generally oversees the operation of the County government. The County Administrator is appointed by, and serves at the pleasure of, the Board of Supervisors. As the Chief Executive Officer of the County, he or she is responsible for developing an annual budget and carrying out policies and laws which are reviewed and approved by the Board. The County Administrator directs business and administrative policies and recommends to the Board those methods, procedures, and policies which will properly govern the County. iv COUNTY PROFILE POPULATION James City County is home to 80,000 approximately 76,523 people as of a U.S. Census American Community 78,000 Survey conducted in July 2019. This is a 14.2% increase from the 2010 76,000 U.S. Census. 74,000 The approximate 2019 median age in the County was 47 years old. The 72,000 population is becoming older, on average, as it is all over the country due to the aging of the post-war 70,000 baby boom generation born between 1946 and 1964. The baby 68,000 boom was followed by a “baby bust” 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 period that brought lower fertility (Est.) (Est.)
