Albemarle County, Administrative county in Virginia, United States
Albemarle County spans 726 square miles of land in the Piedmont region, featuring rolling hills and the Blue Ridge Mountains foothills.
The Virginia General Assembly established Albemarle County in 1744, naming it after Willem Anne van Keppel, the second Earl of Albemarle.
Thomas Jefferson's estate Monticello stands as a central element of the county's heritage, reflecting early American architectural and agricultural practices.
The county maintains an extensive network of parks, schools, and public services, with Charlottesville serving as both the county seat and an independent city.
The Rivanna River flows through the county, forming natural boundaries and providing water resources for local communities since colonial times.
