 Historical Information

Orange County, according to most accounts, was named for William of Orange, the Dutch prince who became King William III of England in 1688. It is more probable, however, that it was named for William IV, prince of Orange-Nassau, who married Anne, eldest daughter of King George II, in 1734—the year that Orange County was formed from Spotsylvania County. The county court first met on 21 January 1735
