Culpeper County, chartered in 1749, was named for Lord Thomas Culpeper, Colonial Governor of Virginia, 1680-1683. The Town of Culpeper was chartered in 1759 as the Town of Fairfax, which was named after Lord Culpeper's grandson, Lord Fairfax the sixth. The early 27-acre courthouse village was developed on land included in a 1754 purchase by Robert Coleman. Coleman purchased the land from the eldest son of Virginia Governor Alexander Spotswood, who had received the land in a grant from the British Crown. The twentieth century brought far-reaching changes to the county with the growth in popularity of the automobile. Construction of a bypass around the County in the late 1960s pulled residential, commercial and industrial growth away from the Town center. After years of falling into disrepair, the County responded to the challenge by establishing a program to revitalize its downtown, and in 1987, became a Virginia Main Street Community. Today, this effort continues, and through hard work and dedication, Culpeper has grown into a vibrant historic town with an international flair, a truly wonderful destination with an unmatched quality of life for the many who call it home.
