Book Synopsis Virginia Place Names by : Raus McDill Hanson
Download or read book Virginia Place Names written by Raus McDill Hanson. This book was released on 1969. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Virginia county, river, mountain range and town share the same name--a name which means "Daughter of the Stars"? Any age group can easily find some surprises, and some humorous historical examples where the local residents had difficulties in agreeing on the name chosen. So the "mail can go through", post offices must have distinct names but geographical place names, which show much less originality and even a bit over-used, are rather frequent. The organization of the book into county areas and the largest independent cities, together with its index were planned to make it a ready reference. Adults will find the book has helpful and concise information for many places, a great amount of history as well as geography. The included information for many places make the book rank as a Virginia encyclopedia. -- Front book flap.

Book Synopsis Virginia Counties by : Morgan Poitiaux Robinson
Download or read book Virginia Counties written by Morgan Poitiaux Robinson. This book was released on 1992. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the only book in existence which accurately shows the dates of formation of Virginia counties, the territory from which they were formed, their boundaries and jurisdiction, and the origin of their names--and backs up the information with documentation. While only 100 Virginia counties exist today, at least 172 were created at one time or another by Virginia legislation. Numerous counties became extinct, merged with other counties or changed their name, while others were cut off to form the states of Kentucky and West Virginia. Since genealogical records created at the time of these events are not easy to track down without accurate information, this work, a kind of "Rosetta Stone" to Virginia counties, unravels all the mysteries surrounding their origins and alterations.
