The Growth of Virginia, 1634-1895:
1831-1840
Fourteen counties were created in the 1830s, as detailed below. The majority were formed through multiple donorship of lands, and most were created on the Appalachian Plateau.
By this point the in-filling process was becoming complex and more than a little confusing to those seeking verification of land titles in county courts, for deeds valid under a jurisdiction
in one year might be monitored somewhere else the next year. Virginia's frontier zone was becoming pocked with counties in their final configuration in a nearly rndom fashion, as the surge of pioneering washed across the Appalachian Plateau.
