History

History of City of Charlottesville

At the time of European settlement, part of the area that became Charlottesville was occupied by a Monacan village called Monasukapanough. They were pushed off their land by English settlers and were forced to disperse to North Carolina, Tennessee and possibly as far as Canada.
