Gloucester County, Virginia
.Gloucester County is a picturesque county located on the eastern side of Virginia, known for its rich historical background that dates back to the early 17th century. The area is part of the original Native American lands where the Algonquin-speaking Powhatan tribe once dwelled. The land was first settled by English colonists in 1642 and officially became Gloucester County in 1651, when it was formed from York County. The county is named after Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester, the third son of King Charles I of England.
In the early years of colonization, the economy of Gloucester County relied heavily on tobacco cultivation, which flourished in the fertile soil along the rivers. Soon, the area became home to several large plantations, owned by wealthy English families. One of the most famous residents in the 18th century was planter John Dutton, who owned the historic Rosewell Plantation. The plantation was one of the largest mansions in its time, with a 12,000-acre estate.
In the mid-19th century, the county played a significant role in the Civil War, with the Battle of Ware Bottom Church occurring on May 20, 1864. This battle left more than 1,100 casualties and led to the establishment of the Ware Bottom Church Confederate Cemetery, which still stands today.
In modern times, Gloucester County has transformed into a charming mix of residential, commercial, and rural areas, offering visitors a unique blend of history and natural beauty. The county now leans more towards agriculture, forestry, and seafood industries, with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science located in the area, fostering environmental stewardship and marine research.
A fun fact about Gloucester County is that it is home to the famous Guineas - the Guinea Heritage Day festival, which celebrates the unique culture, history, and dialect of bay-and-river watermen residing in the Guinea Neck district of the county. The festival takes place annually on the first Sunday in October at the historic Buck's Store Museum, drawing local and tourist interest alike.
