Populations
Does anyone have any historical populations for Staunton, Waynesboro, or Augusta County?bob (talk) 22:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Sounds to me like the US Census Bureau would be your best place for getting historical population figures. SchuminWeb (Talk) 06:32, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Request for input
How would one make a request of readers, for confirmation, or denial, of purported facts concerning Augusta County? Bigtrucksmurf (talk) 23:12, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * If it involves the article, then just ask here. If it is not article related, ask on my talk page.  --—  Gadget850 (Ed)  talk  -  23:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Can anyone help confirm, or dispute that Philadelphia was the capital before the Revolutionary War? And thank You Gadget850 Bigtrucksmurf (talk) 00:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * If you would like to discuss such things, please go to Talk:Philadelphia. You might also find that your question is already answered in the article, Philadelphia.  For a talk page discussing improvements to the article Augusta County, Virginia, this is WAAAAAAAY off topic.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:16, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Did Britain have claim to the western parts of what is now the US? I thought this was claimed by France (thus the need for the Louisiana Purchase). My understanding was that Augusta's western boundary was the Mississippi River? Ismus (talk) 17:34, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Town section very incomplete
My family is from the town of Spottswood in Augusta Co. I noticed that it was not included in the list of towns, so I became curious. My first Google search yielded 84 towns in the county of Augusta. Should I research this a bit and add the missing towns? thanks. Erin0027 (talk) 06:17, 13 July 2008 (UTC)


 * 84 towns? That seems like too much, but first I'd like to see the reliable source, and then we'll go from there.  SchuminWeb (Talk) 07:04, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a common misconception about Town in Virginia. Spottswood is not a town, it is an unincorporated area.  There are only two towns in Augusta County - Craigsville and Grottoes (partial).  Unincorporated areas don't have ability to tax, town hall, mayor, government, etc.  This is not to be confused with independent cities Staunton and Waynesboro, which are totally independent of Augusta County, even though they are encapsulated in it.  On this topic, I removed the table "Town Populations".  They were not towns; unfortunately, the list did not match the current "Unincorporated communities" list.  I tried to find census data for these areas but was not successful (the data in the table was stale).  I tried to think of a good way to revise this table / data but was unsuccessful.--Gapmtn1 (talk) 02:30, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I changed my edit: instead of removing "Town Populations", I changed it to "Area Populations" and changed some wording / tables to help delineate Town and Unincorporated Areas.Gapmtn1 (talk) 16:40, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
