History
The origin of the name Virginville is obscure. Some say it is the English translation of a Native American word, while others believe the community was named for virgin forests in the area.[6] "Virgin" may be an alternate translation of the Indian-named Maiden Creek,[7] which runs through the town and also meets up with Sacony Creek.
The district encompasses 80 contributing buildings built between 1874 and 1930 with residential, commercial, and institutional buildings which were constructed in a variety of popular architectural styles, including Gothic Revival and Italianate. A primarily residential district, notable non-residential buildings include The Creamery (c. 1875), St. Paul's Chapel (1903), Virginville Hotel (1885), post office (c. 1930), and Balthasar's Garage (1921).[8]
