Albemarle County, located in Virginia, was named after the Albemarle Sound in North Carolina, which in turn was named in honor of William Anne, 2nd Earl of Albemarle. The name reflects the colonial practice of naming places after notable figures or geographical features. The county was officially established in 1744, and its name pays tribute to the Earl's contributions to the colony.
