Dumfries Reverts to 1790s Map for Historical Boundaries

7 August 2011 One Comment

The latest changes to Dumfries’ historic boundaries were made by the town council in 2005. The problem is they were never amended in the town code, so now Virginia’s oldest-chartered town must revert to boundaries drawn in 1790.

The change means some property owners may have buildings the historic district and may require approval before any changes to their exterior can be made.
