Greenville County Sheriff's Office: In 1786, Greenville County was formed.  Greenville County was part of the Ninety Six District and was serviced by the Sheriff of that District.  In 1791 a new district was formed to include Greenville and Pendleton Counties.  This was named the Washington District and it existed until 1799.  In 1795 Robert Maxwell, a Revolutionary War hero, was appointed as Sheriff of the District.  He lived in Greenville County, and was killed by an ambush on November 10, 1797 while crossing the Saluda River shoals where Piedmont Mill Dam was later built.  His grave is located fifteen miles south of Greenville, near Ware Place.  During this time many important public officials, including the Sheriff, were elected to their position by the Legislature.  The people of South Carolina, however, felt that this important position should answer directly to them for his actions and performance.  In 1808, legislation was enacted to provide for the election of the Sheriff by the citizens of the county, rather than by politicians.  This method of election was placed into our State Constitution in 1868.  The Office of Sheriff in Greenville County began.  The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office has transformed from the ancient office created over a thousand years ago in England, to a New World colony, to a frontier county, to a modern, computerized law enforcement agency serving a busy metropolitan county of over 451,000 residents.

Virginia State Route 13: State Route 13 (SR 13) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of Virginia.  Known as Old Buckingham Road, the state highway runs 24.08 mi from U.S. Route 60 and SR 45 in Cumberland east to US 60 in Plain View.  SR 13 parallels US 60 to the south through eastern Cumberland County and western Powhatan County and passes through the latter county's seat of Powhatan.  The state highway is the only state-numbered highway in Virginia that shares a number with a U.S. Highway but does not form a state-numbered extension of that U.S. Highway.  SR 13's number comes from being a segment of the original cross-state SR 13 in 1918; that highway included portions of modern US 60.  In 1933, US 60 was shifted to its present corridor between Buena Vista and Richmond, replacing SR 13.  Two years later, SR 13 was assigned to Old Buckingham Road when US 60 was moved to its present alignment from Cumberland to east of Powhatan.
