Everettsville is an unincorporated community in Albemarle County, Virginia, United States. ^[1] It was named for Dr. Charles Everett, who in 1821 bought the 400-acre tract called Pouncey's of the Shadwell tract from Thomas Jefferson. He more than doubled his property to more than 1,000 acres. ^{[2] [3]} The area became known as Everettsville. ^[2]

In the mid-19th century, it was a point along the stagecoach route between Richmond and Staunton. ^[4] Nicholas Trist's wife and children briefly took up residence here in early 1829 as they awaited word to follow Trist to Washington. ^[5]
