The Rambler has mentioned the

and who no doubt used the trails that

the Rambler's mind the subject Of the
northern and western progress of set
tlement in Virginia, and he would like
to get it out of his system. even
though it should delay by a few min
utes his arrival at Harmony valley.
The valley of the Potomac is as
rich in colonial landmarks as any
other part of our country. Perhaps
1t is richer than any other part Ger
tainly in memories and landmarks Of
George Washington it is richer than
any other section of the United States.

this land area is the northern neck

similar area. called the middle neck,
between the Kappahannock and the
York. while the southern neck lies
between the York and the James.
The word meek" descriptive of these
river peninsulas was brought from
England by the early immigrants.
The northern neck includes the
counties of Northumberland, Lancas-
ter, Westmoreland, Stafford, Rich
mond and King George. while the
Potomac counties OF Prince William,
Fairfax and I.oudoun are classed as
part Of northern Virginia AS settle

The English settlers erected on the
lower part of the northern neck a
shire which they called hickacoan.
or the Indian family after whom this
long-extinct shire was named have
been lost. Part of the name is pre-
served in "Coan river" where steam
boats from Washington make land
ings. When the shire Of Chickacosn
was created is not known, but very
probably soon after the settlement of
st. Marys City. 1t is unfortunate that,
notwithstanding the efforts of learn
ed Virginia historians. the date of the
beginning Of this shire cannot be de-
termined. That date would approx
mate the settlement of white people

Northumberland was established on
the lands of the shire Of Chickacoan.'
About the time Of the establishment
of Northumberland the county of
Lancaster came into being, but the
date of its creation is not among the
records, and the first reference to
Lancaster is of 1861. Whether North
cumberland or Lancaster is the older
county is not known, but 1T is be-
lieved that northumberland Is the
parent county of the northern neck
and the first Of the Potomac counties
of Virginia.
Settlement had progressed so far
up the neck that the county of West
moreland was created out Of North
cumberland in 1853. A new county,
Rappahannock, was established in
1856, and that county became extinct
in 1892. two new counties being sub
stituted for it, one of these being
Richmond, on the Rappahannock side
of the northern neck, and the second
Essex. on the other side Of the Rap
pahannock river. Progress of settle
ment called for the organization Of
Stafford county about 1864, in which
year is found the first reference to
this county, though the date of its
establishment has been lost. King
George county came into being in
1920. Prince william in 1871. Fairfax
in 1742 and Loudoun in 1857. 1t is
safe to say that at the time of the
creation of Stafford county on the
Potomac. fifty-seven years after
Jamestown, white settlers were grow
