Henrico County Virginia

Map of Va: Henrico CountyEstablished in 1634 as one of the original shires of Virginia, Henrico County extended from the western edge of Charles City County westward on both sides of the James River. Its name came from Henricus, founded just south of the falls of the James in 1611 and named for Henry, Prince of Wales, the oldest son of James I. Its watercourses were the upper Chickahominy on the north and the Appomattox River to the south. In 1727 Goochland County was formed from western Henrico lands both north and south of the James River. In 1749 Chesterfield County was established from the remaining Henrico lands south of the James. Finally, when Richmond was first established on the north side of the James, it took land from Henrico [today Richmond now also encompasses land from Chesterfield County]. Henrico's records have suffered from depredations in both the Revolutionary and Civil War. British raiders seized and burned many of the county's record books; the county's circuit court records were consumed in the flames of the April, 1865 fire in Richmond. Virtually all of Henrico's early records are now available on microfilm at the Library of Virginia.
