About: Shires of Virginia

An Entity of Type: District108552138, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The eight Shires of Virginia were formed in 1634 in the Virginia Colony. These shires were based on a form of local government used in England at the time, and were redesignated as counties a few years later. As of 2007, five of the eight original shires were considered still extant in the Commonwealth of Virginia in essentially their same political form, although some boundaries and several names have changed in the almost 400 years since their creation.

  • Die acht Shires of Virginia waren Verwaltungseinheiten der englischen Kolonie Virginia, Vorläuferin der heutigen US-amerikanischen Bundesstaaten Virginia und West Virginia. Sie wurden 1634 geformt. Die Shires waren dem Vorbild nachempfunden, wie es zu dieser Zeit auch in England benutzt wurde, als eine Art lokaler Regierung. Wenige Jahre später wurden sie in Countys umgewandelt. (de)
