Lee County (Va.) Board of Supervisors Records, 1872-1922, Local government records collection, Lee County Court Records. The Library of Virginia, Richmond, Va. 23219.
This item came to the Library of Virginia in a shipment of court papers from Lee County.
Lee County was named Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee, governor of Virginia from 1791 to 1794. It was formed from Russell County in 1792. Part of Scott County was added in 1823. Its area is 438 square miles, and the county seat is Jonesville.
The Board of Supervisors has been the chief administrative body of the county since its establishment in 1869. Board members were originally elected by township voters; since abolition of the township system they have been elected from districts. The board's duties are fixed by statute and are primarily concerned with maintenance and construction of county buildings and fiscal matters.
Lee County (Va.) Board of Supervisors Records, 1872-1922, consists of Road Warrants, Minutes of Road Board and Board of Supervisors, Road Board Reports, Road Petitions and Reports, Warrants Paid, and Yokum Road Fund Warrant.
