      <p>Surry County was formed in 1652 from James City County.
</p>
<p>Created in 1652. Order books for 1718–1741 and various other early volumes are fragmentary. Most loose records prior to 1806 are missing. Courthouse fires in 1906 and 1922 did not result in loss of records, however, because at that time records were housed in a separate clerk’s office.</p>
