Nelson County Celebrate 1807 One hundred fifty years! How long the time When measured by man ' s fleeting span. One hundred fifty years! How short the time When viewed from God ' s eternal plan. Carry me back to Nelson County, There ' s where my heart is when the dove at even ' calls; There let me dream near the old Blue Ridge Mountains, Charmed by the music of restless Crabtree Falls. Nelson County was established by an act of the General Assembly on December 25, 1807. At that time Thomas Jefferson was President of the United States. William H. Cabell was Governor of Virginia. The first court was held at Cabellsville on June 27, 1808. On December 31, 1808, an act was passed by the General Assembly fixing the site which is now Lovingston as the permanent seat of justice for the County of Nelson. The first court held in the new courthouse convened on Feb¬ ruary 26, 1810. The original courthouse has been in continuous use to the present time. Additional space was added in 1940. Nelson County faces a rising sun. This sesqui- centennial year, 1957, each citizen should remove his hat to an historic past and turn toward a future of golden opportunity. Nelson County has an abundance of mate¬ rial resources. Agricultural products, orchards, cattle, timber, minerals, game, fish, and scenic beauty are among our material assets. Communication and trans¬ portation facilities are adequate to our needs. All these are important and necessary, but one must look beyond material resources for assets of primary importance. Cornelia said approximately two thousand years ago, My boys and girls are my jewels. We know that the boys and girls of Nelson County are our greatest assets - our jewels. They hold the key that will open the door of opportunity for a more abundant life in Nelson County. With God’s blessing the youth of today and the generations to follow will be an honor to Nelson County. May they in turn always deem it an honor to call Nel¬ son County home. 2

150th Anniversary 1957 There let me linger once more in sweet memory, Though far away now my weary footsteps roam; There ' s not a spot in this wide world so lovely. As Nelson County, my dear old childhood home.
