Prince George County Virginia

Prince George County was formed in 1703 from the part of Charles City County which lay south of the James River. The new county was named for Prince George of Denmark, husband of Queen Anne of England. Brunswick was cut off the southern portion of Prince George County in 1720 and Amelia County emerged from Prince George's western holdings in 1734. The last boundary change occurred in 1752 when Dinwiddie County was formed from it. Prince George's records suffered from both the Revolutionary and Civil War conflicts. British raiders destroyed some county records, but the greatest depredation came in 1864. Federal occupation troops set fire to the courthouse and other public buildings, and they carried away or destroyed many of the county court books. Some of these "liberated" items have been returned. Others, like the county's minute book for the years 1714-1728, were found shortly after the war in abandoned Federal encampments.
