King George County was established in 1720 and named for King George I. James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, was born at Belle Grove in Port Conway on March 16, 1751. After the assassination of President Lincoln in April 1865, John Wilkes Booth and David Herold crossed into the county by boat from Maryland and passed through Port Conway on their escape.
