- Rockbridge County, VA was formed
in 1778 from Augusta and Botetourt Counties. However, the settlement within
the bounds of present day Rockbridge began in 1737, in Borden's Grant.
The area was then a part of Orange County, VA. Augusta County began keeping
records in 1745, and covered what is now many states.
In 1770, Botetourt County was formed from Augusta. The present Maury River formed part of the boundary. It was then called North River.
