 Stuart was mortally wounded in Henrico County at the Battle of Yellow Tavern on May 12, 1864.Henrico County is one of only two counties in Virginia that maintains its own roads, with the other being Arlington County.This special status was due to the existence of county highway departments prior to the creation in 1927 of the state agency that is now VDOT; and the assumption by that agency in 1932 of local roads in most counties.
