Return to Index History & History Related Items Dumfries history: Dumfries is the oldest continously chartered town in Virginia having received its charter on May 11, 1749. It was named by John Graham for his birthplace, Dumfrieshire, Scotland. By 1759, Dumfries had become a center for business and commerce in the area and the county was moved from Cedar Run to Dumfries. The town began to peak in the early 1760's. After that time, the main commodity changed from tobacco to wheat and sugar and an economic downturn began. When Dumfries commerce did not pick up after the revolutionary war, the county court was once again moved, this time to Brentsville. This only helped the economy to spiral down even more as the trade from "court days" went elsewhere.
