History
It is named for John Early (1773–1833), a relative of Confederate general Jubal Early. In 1822, John Early bought just under 1,000 acres (4 km2) of land from his father-in-law that now comprise a portion of the town. Earlysville has a small central business district (pictured at right), consisting of a thrift store, an auto repair shop, a United States Post Office, and a coworking space. There is a nearby light industrial park and several small suburban developments. The bulk of the area is rural in character.
The community was the original location of Michie Tavern, before its 1927 relocation adjacent to Monticello. Historic structures still located in Earlysville include Earlysville Union Church, Longwood, and Buck Mountain Episcopal Church.
