The VA General Assembly in 1810 issued a charter for a town at the intersection of Ashby Gap Road(authorized to be paved that year, later became Route 50) and the Dumfries-Winchester Road (Route 17), though the town was actually platted two decades earlier. In 1819 the town was renamed to memorialize the tour of the returning Marquis de Lafayette to the US after the War of 1812. The area was surveyed by George Washington in 1769.
