County court records relating to roads and transportation are collectively know as "road orders." The Virginia Transportation Research Council's published volumes of road orders and related materials contain not only information on early roads, but also the names of inhabitants who lived and worked along the roadways, plantations, farms, landmarks, landforms, and bodies of water. Much of this information is found nowhere else in early records, making these publications invaluable not only to historical and cultural resources research, but also to other disciplines, including social history, preservation planning, environmental science, and genealogy.

This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of what was originally intended as the introductory chapters of the Albemarle road history. Since most readers are probably unfamiliar with the history of roads in Virginia, it was thought proper to devote the first section of that work to a sketch of the development of road transportation here up to the coming of the period of intense railroad development in the nineteenth century. At the suggestion of several of the people who read the first draft, and in-the interest of increasing the utility of this particular section, a separate publication was decided upon. The author hopes that this brief sketch will help to place development of the roads of Albemarle, as well as those of the other counties, within the larger context of the development of Virginia's roads, and that it will simultaneously provide some understanding of the varied and often conflicting forces which shaped transportation policy at the colonial and state levels.

Book excerpt: The road history projects undertaken by the Virginia Transportation Research Council establish the feasibility of studies of early road networks and their use in the environmental review process. These projects, by gathering and publishing the early road orders of the vast parent counties and other significant areas, also lay the foundation for additional research by local groups over a broad area of Virginia. This volume marks the 31st entry in the Historic Roads of Virginia series, initiated in 1973 by the Virginia Highway & Transportation Research Council (subsequently the Virginia Transportation Research Council). Fauquier County Road Orders 1784-1800 furthers the coverage of early northern Virginia transportation records begun in the previously published Fauquier County Road Orders 1759-1783, Loudoun County Road Orders 1783-1800, Loudoun County Road Orders 1757-1783, Fairfax County Road Orders 1749-1800, Frederick County Road Orders 1743-1772, Culpeper County Road Orders 1763-1764, and Orange County Road Orders 1734-1749. This volume covers the period from just after the end of the Revolutionary War through the year 1800. By the last half of the 18th century, Fauquier County contained important east-west and north-south transportation routes. The county's early transportation records provide important information relating to transportation connections with not only neighboring counties and other southern counties in Virginia, but also with what would become Washington, D.C. (established in 1790), the state of Maryland, and what is now West Virginia. This publication will have particular application to the cultural resource research relating to transportation projects in this area of northern Virginia. This information will eliminate the need for further research into the early Fauquier County road order records. If questions arise about early roads once a VDOT road improvement project is already underway (or nearly underway), primary historical research of this nature can take 6 to 12 months to complete. Therefore, this volume can be a source of potentially significant cost savings for VDOT, including the avoided costs of project delays and avoided consultant costs for cultural resource studies should questions arise.

This volume covers the period from the years immediately following the end of the Revolutionary War through the end of the 18th century. By the last half of the 18th century, Loudoun County was already one of the most populous and economically important counties in northern Virginia, and it contained major east-west and north-south transportation routes. The countys early transportation records provide important information relating to transportation connections with not only neighboring counties and other southern counties in Virginia but also with the Washington, D.C., region and the adjoining states of Maryland and what is now West Virginia.
