Caroline County was named for Caroline of Anspach, consort of George II. It was formed from Essex, King and Queen, and King William Counties in 1728, and additional parts of King and Queen were added later.
Most loose records and deed books prior to 1836 and will books prior to 1853 were stolen, mutilated, and/or destroyed by Union troops who ransacked the courthouse in May 1864. A near-complete run of order books exists.
Caroline County (Va.) Committee of Safety Proceedings, 1774-1776. The minutes document the proceedings of the committee that was formed in support of the resolutions adopted by the Virginia Convention in August 1774. The committee encouraged compliance with the non-importation of British manufactures and heard allegations of price-gouging by local merchants in the county and other offenses. In addition, the minutes document the collection of a tithe in support of the purchase of ammunition and the collection of grain for the people of Boston. The minute book also includes miscellaneous accounts written on the back pages of the minutes, 1814-1866 (bulk 1814-1830).
