# The University of Virginia is chartered in 1819 on Jefferson's Rockfish Gap plan as a public academical village

Date: 1819

## The fact

On 25 January 1819 Virginia chartered the University of Virginia, following the Rockfish Gap commissioners' report Jefferson shaped. The instrument is that public university as an academical village without a professor of theology as president. Enslaved workers extracted stone and cooked for builders; that labour is named, not erased. Thomas Jefferson's documented role is: He designed curriculum, architecture, and the bill. The General Assembly chartered. Enslaved labour built much of the fabric. He was not the mason.

## Context

Joseph Cabell steered the Assembly. Sharing the charter with him is required. The 1815 library sale to Congress is a different education instrument. Gift-shop rotundas are not this Fact. The setting of The University of Virginia is chartered in 1819 on Jefferson's Rockfish Gap plan as a public academical village is the public file around 1819-01-25. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver edu-[digital-learning-access](/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.
