HISTORICAL NOTES

Named for a shire in England, Virginia's Westmoreland County was founded in 1653 by the House of Burgesses at the Jamestown settlement. The rolling fields and forests of Westmoreland were home to some of America's most celebrated patriots including James Monroe and George Washington.


Based on the terrific success of Windsor Forest, another quality Hornsby homesite community, the land planning and roadway characteristics have been designed to establish a new development with the flavor of the familiar. One might say that WESTMORELAND has been designed to be the "cousin of Windsor Forest". It has also been said that the name was chosen because:

"It's on Williamsburg's West side and you get more land for your money".


The Hornsby's have planned eighty to one hundred homes in WESTMORELAND. Most homes are projected to be in the 2300 to 3500 sq. ft. range. Diversity of style is encouraged, with colonial brick and low maintenance vinyl as the exterior finishes of choice.

WESTMORELAND homes are served by Underground Public Utility Services including cable TV, telephone, sewer, water, natural gas and electricity. Home prices start around $450,000 and the lots provide good building sites with ample room for trees, yards, and spacious homes.

WESTMORELAND is convenient to shopping, schools, Colonial Williamsburg, the College of William and Mary, the Williamsburg-James City Rec Center, golf courses, fine dining, and many other quality services. Richmond, Newport News, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach, including airports and resort areas, are all easily accessible from WESTMORELAND.

WESTMORELAND LOT FUNDS GIVEN

TO LAND CONSERVANCY

Reprinted from the Virginia Gazette, Williamsburg, VA

Williamsburg, VA -- The developers of the Westmoreland subdivision off Olde Towne Road in Williamsburg, Robert, Lois, Ann and Bobby Hornsby, have donated $18,000 to the Williamsburg Land Conservancy. "In order to continue our long-standing support of quality land management in the Williamsburg area, we have decided to make Westmoreland a Land Conservancy Community". The Hornsby family has been involved as local Realtors, builders and developers for the past 45 years. Robert Hornsby began developing Windsor Forest in 1972 and he ringed the property with wooded land to be left in a natural state.

"I've learned so much working with my father," Bobby Hornsby said, "He surrounded his developments with green areas and buffer zones long before it became a government requirement, and 'our section' of Longhill Road is still a wooded greenway based on his plans of 25 years ago." In addition to the donation, the Hornsbys have placed more than 5 acres into a conservation area for the first two sections of Westmoreland. More conservation areas are planned, Hornsby noted. With the increased attention on growth in the area, "it's not enough to only provide green areas within developments, so additional land must be set aside for future generations," he said. "This is the goal we share with the Williamsburg Land Conservancy."
