Summary: "How Justice Grew: Virginia Counties, An Abstract of Their Formation" by Martha W. Hiden is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book provides a detailed overview of the formation of counties in Virginia, tracing back to their conceptual origins and the establishment of local governance in the early colonial period. It examines the economic and social factors that prompted the creation and organization of these jurisdictions, reflecting on the evolution of justice accessibility for the growing population. At the start of the text, the author introduces the context of colonial Virginia, emphasizing that the settlers not only brought their physical possessions but also their laws, customs, and religion from England. The narrative outlines the early governmental structure, noting significant legislative actions from the establishment of the first General Assembly in 1619 to the eventual creation of counties as a response to population growth and the need for accessible judicial systems. This opening segment thus sets the foundation for the parameters in which future discussions on county formation and governance will be framed, highlighting both the historical and legal aspects that shaped Virginia's development as a colony.
