Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains; the city of Charlottesville thrives amidst numerous tangible reminders of an incredibly rich history. Founded in 1762; the heart of early Charlottesville was the stage for some of the most important figures in early American history; including Thomas Jefferson; James Madison; and James Monroe. Growing side by side with Jeffersons University of Virginia; Charlottesville developed into a bustling community whose businesses; families; and celebrations were well documented in photographs beginning in the 1880s. The collection of images reproduced in Images of America: Charlottesville tells the story of the creation; growth; hardship; transformation; and success of a city beloved by residents and visitors alike.
