Welcome to Alfredton ...

So far, we found very little information about Alfredton. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Alfredton to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Alfredton - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Alfredton, please Contact Us.

Adding Alfredton to Our Gazetteer ...

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Alfredton was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Alfredton post office opened in 1908.

We also found Alfredton on a map titled Rand McNally Map of Virginia (1911).

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Alfredton, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Virginia's counties, including Tazewell, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
