 Historical Information

Orange County, according to most accounts, was named for William of Orange, the Dutch prince who became William III of England in 1688. It is more probable, however, that the name honored William IV, prince of Orange-Nassau, who married Anne, eldest daughter of George II, in 1734-the year Orange County was formed from Spotsylvania County.

 Scope and Content

Each entry lists the name of a head of household and the name, age, and gender of each child in the household between the ages of 6 and 18. The census also indicates what children could not read.
