Biographical / historical:

Augusta County was named in honor of Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, wife of Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales, and mother of George III. It was formed from Orange County in 1738, but, because the region was sparsely inhabited, county government was not actually established there until 1745.
