Culpeper County was formed on 17 May 1749 from the northern part of Orange County. The new western county was named for Lord Culpeper, Governor of Virginia, 1677-1683. In 1793 Madison County was created from Culpeper's western lands, and in 1833 Rappahannock County was split off from Culpeper's northern holdings. Culpeper's boundaries stabilized at that time.
Most of Culpeper's records are intact. the only notable omissions are a few deed and will books, and the order or minute books prior to the 1790s.
