Historical and Biographical Information
In July 1869, Virginia voters ratified the Underwood Constitution which required each Virginia county to divide into townships and establish a board of supervisors as the chief administrative agency. In December 1870, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors officially took charge of county property from the court. Subsequently, bills were sent to the board for services rendered to the county such as medical attention, food, general merchandise, building and road construction or repair, and transportation of goods. This collection features a snapshot of some of the local business that carried out work for Fairfax County in the early 20th century.
Scope and Content
The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Northern Virginia Businesses Receipts Collection spans the years 1901-1940, and consists of business letterhead, receipts, correspondence, and checks from Fairfax County, Alexandria, and Washington, D.C. businesses. These receipts were billed to the Board of Supervisors for services or goods provided to Fairfax County. The collection is arranged alphabetically.
