Welcome to Goochland

Goochland County, Virginia, established in 1728, offers a rich tapestry of American history and scenic beauty. Named after Sir William Gooch, the royal lieutenant governor at the time, the county originally encompassed vast territories extending to the Blue Ridge Mountains.
 
In its early days, Goochland was considered a frontier, characterized by expansive plantations and country estates. Notably, Tuckahoe Plantation, the boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson, stands as the county's oldest recorded river plantation and remains a popular historical attraction today.
 
The James River served as a vital transportation route, facilitating the trade of tobacco and wheat, the county's primary crops. Additionally, the historic Three Chopt Road, originally a Native American trail marked by three hatchet chops in trees, traversed the county, enhancing east-west travel.
 
Goochland's historical narrative includes significant events such as the passage of Lord Cornwallis's army during the Revolutionary War, which led to the occupation and destruction of parts of the county, including Thomas Jefferson's Elk Hill estate.
 
Today, Goochland County seamlessly blends its historical heritage with modern development. Its picturesque landscapes, historic sites, and vibrant communities make it a compelling destination for those seeking to experience the enduring spirit of Virginia's past and present.
