Historical Information

Albemarle County was named for William Anne Keppel, second early of Albemarle and governor of the Virginia colony from 1737 to 1754. It was formed from Goochland County in 1744, and part of Louisa County and certain islands in the Fluvanna River, now called the James, were added later.

Scope and Content

Albemarle County (Va.) Affidavit of A.S. Brockenbrough, 1831 May 3. Brockenbrough's testimony pertains to wages paid for the preparation of building sites for the construction of University of Virginia dormitories and two hotels "on the West street." One of the men hired for the job of undertaking on the site claimed he was promised a higher rate of compensation than he was paid. Brockenbrough testifies he promised to pay the workers ten percent less than former prices given at the University of Virginia for construction work.
