Historical Information
Madison County was named for James Madison, a prominent Virginian and member of Congress in 1792 when the county was formed from Culpeper County.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F) is an altruistic fraternal organization derived from similar English oddfellow service organizations that came into being in the 1700s. It was founded in the U.S. in Baltimore in 1819. The organization has traditionally supported a variety of philanthropic causes, including helping the sick and educating orphans.
