3. Public Records
The area now known as Jefferson County has been part of five counties and two states since 1720. This splintered past complicates researchers' efforts to use public records in the study of local history. The following chronology will serve as a general guide to students wishing to study a particular period of Jefferson County's past. A description of the scope and location of public records follows.

1720 to 1734: Spottsylvania County, Virginia.

1734 to 1738: Orange County, Virginia. Court was held at Orange Court House. The Orange County Courthouse is located at 109 West Main Street, Orange, VA 22960.

1738 to 1772: Frederick County, Virginia. The Court for Frederick County was held at Orange Court House until 1743, when it was transferred to Winchester. The Frederick County Clerk's Office is located at 5 N. Kent Street, Winchester, VA 22601. Phone: (540) 667-5770.

1772 to 1801: Berkeley County, Virginia. Court has always been held in Martinsburg. The Berkeley County Courthouse is located at 100 West King Street; Martinsburg, WV 25401-3210. Phone: (304) 267-3000.

1801 to 1863: Jefferson County, Virginia. Court was held in Charlestown until the Civil War. The Court House is located at the intersection of Washington and George Streets (WV Routes 9 and 340), Charles Town, WV, 25414. Phone: (304) 725-9761.

1863 to the present: Jefferson County, West Virginia. Court was held in Shepherdstown from 1865 until 1871, and in Charlestown from 1871 to the present.

Municipal records are also important resources for historians, and the following municipalities have played a key part in Jefferson County's history:

Bolivar (Jefferson County). Incorporated in December 1825, it included the village of Mudfort.

Charles Town (Jefferson County). Founded in 1786, it became the county seat with the establishment of Jefferson County in 1801. The first meeting of the Jefferson County Court was held November 10, 1801.

Harpers Ferry (Jefferson County). Founded ca. 1745 by Robert Harper, it was early known as Shenandoah Falls at Harper's Ferry. The town was not incorporated until March 1851. When incorporated, it absorbed the town of Virginius (located on Virginius Island), which had been established by the Virginia General Assembly in 1827.

Martinsburg (Berkeley County). Established 1778, has been the seat of Berkeley County since its inception.

Mecklinburg / Shepherdstown (Jefferson County). Founded in 1762, it was renamed Shepherdstown in 1798.

Ranson (Jefferson County). It was incorporated October, 1910.

Smithfield / Middleway (Jefferson County). Also called Clip, it was founded by Joseph Smith and established by act of the General Assembly in 1798 under the name “Smithfield.” When Jefferson County became part of West Virginia in 1863, its town charter was apparently nullified. The state of West Virginia formally repealed Smithfield's charter, along with those of other Jefferson County municipalities, in 1866. Smithfield did not apply for a new charter.

Virginius Island. Located in the Shenandoah River adjacent to Harpers Ferry, it was incorporated until after the Civil War.

Winchester (Frederick County). Founded in 1744, often called “Fredericktown” or Opeckon in its early days, it has been the county seat since the town was established. In 1743, the first Court was held in what would later become Winchester. A town charter was not obtained until 1752.

Census Records
Census records for what later became Jefferson County are available in various formats from the late 18th century to (at present) 1920. For privacy reasons, personal data in census records are not made publicly available until 70 years after the survey was completed. Summary information is published by the Bureau of the Census soon after the census is taken, and extracts from these documents often appear in local newspapers.

Census records for each decade from 1790 to 1920 (except 1890) are available on microfilm at Shepherd College, Martinsburg Public Library, Berkeley County Historical Society, the West Virginia Regional History Collection, and Harpers Ferry National Historic Park Library.

Location of Records for Adjacent Frederick and Washington Counties in Maryland

The records of Frederick and Washington Counties and their antecedents contain a substantial amount of information related to Jefferson County History.

Many of these records are available on microfilm at the Maryland State Archives.
