Historical Information

Alexandria County was named for the town of Alexandria. It was formed from a portion of Fairfax County that had been ceded by Virginia in 1789 to the federal government for use as the site of a new national capital. In 1801 the area officially became part of the District of Colubmia, although Congress named it Alexandria County. Congress returned the county to Virginia in 1846, and the following year the General Assembly extended the commonwealth's jurisdiction over the region. In 1920 the county's name was changed to Arlington County.

Scope and Content

Alexandria County (Va.) Deed, 1843, is a deed between Charles Casenove and Ann his wife, on the one part and John C. Vowell pertaining to a brick tenement in the town of Alexandria.
