Named for its counterpart county in England, Lancaster County was formed in 1651 from Northumberland County and York County and comprised the land on both sides of the Rappahannock River to the ridges. In 1656 the upper portion of Lancaster was cut off to form "Old" Rappahannock County, and in 1669 the territory west of the river was taken to become Middlesex County. At that time Lancaster reached its present boundaries.
Lancaster has had no losses from fire or war, and except for a few gaps, the county record is complete.
