Davis Street, Culpeper

The town of Culpeper was founded in 1759 as the seat of Culpeper County. It is named for "the 2nd Baron Colepeper", who was a colonial governor of Virginia in the 1600s. The town was originally surveyed by a 27-year-old George Washington. The town is very proud of the fact that the first company of "Minutemen" in Virginia were formed here during the Revolutionary War. The town later changed hands several times during the Civil War and served as the encampment of the Union Army during the winter of 1863-64.
