The patented conditions of the settlement were to introduce <a href="/wiki/English_people" title="English people">English</a> settlers to the area and build the town to incorporate <a href="/wiki/Borough" title="Borough">borough</a> status. Ridgeway had difficulty in attracting sufficient English tradespeople and settler families into what was then regarded as a hostile territory outside of the protection of <a href="/wiki/The_Pale" title="The Pale">the Pale</a>, so he only managed to build a few wooden cabins and a corn mill near to the castle.

Culme persuaded the Plantation Commission to move the location of Virginia to its present site close to the Blackwater tributary river, whereupon he built a number of cabins for the settlers but still failed to meet the commission's time frame for developing the town further before giving up on the task, probably for the same reasons as his predecessor. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_Plunketts">The Plunketts</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Virginia,_County_Cavan&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: The Plunketts"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>During November 1622, the Virginia estate came into the possession of <a href="/wiki/Luke_Plunkett,_1st_Earl_of_Fingall" class="mw-redirect" title="Luke Plunkett, 1st Earl of Fingall">the 10th Baron Killeen</a> (who was created the 1st <a href="/wiki/Earl_of_Fingall" title="Earl of Fingall">Earl of Fingall</a> in 1628), who also held extensive lands around County Meath.

Complaints from the Virginia inhabitants about the lack of development progress reached the commission by 1638 whereupon <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Plunkett,_2nd_Earl_of_Fingall" class="mw-redirect" title="Christopher Plunkett, 2nd Earl of Fingall">Christopher Plunkett, 2nd Earl of Fingall</a> (who had succeeded his father in the <a href="/wiki/Earldom" class="mw-redirect" title="Earldom">earldom</a> in 1637) was ordered to submit a substantial bond with the commission's court, and to build the church in Virginia or face forfeiture of his County Cavan lands.

The summer of 1642 saw the outright destruction by government forces of the castle along with the burning of stocks of hay, corn and turf in a bid to punish the outlawed <a href="/wiki/Christopher_Plunkett,_2nd_Earl_of_Fingall" class="mw-redirect" title="Christopher Plunkett, 2nd Earl of Fingall">Lord Fingall</a> for his role in the <a href="/wiki/Siege_of_Drogheda_(1641)" title="Siege of Drogheda (1641)">Siege of Drogheda (1641)</a>. </p><p>What remained of Virginia after the wars can be assessed through <a href="/wiki/Hearth_tax" title="Hearth tax">hearth tax</a> records from the 1660s, indicating a small resident community.

Virginia and its surrounding estate were particularly developed by <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Taylour,_1st_Earl_of_Bective" title="Thomas Taylour, 1st Earl of Bective">Thomas Taylor</a> (1724-1795), who built up the town and succeeded where others had failed. Taylor (who changed the spelling of the family surname to Taylour) succeeded his father in the <a href="/wiki/Baronetcy" class="mw-redirect" title="Baronetcy">baronetcy</a> in 1757. The then Sir Thomas Taylour, 3rd <a href="/wiki/Baronet" title="Baronet">Bt.</a>, was created 1st <a href="/wiki/Baron_Headfort" class="mw-redirect" title="Baron Headfort">Baron Headfort</a> in 1760, and 1st <a href="/wiki/Viscount_Headfort" class="mw-redirect" title="Viscount Headfort">Viscount Headfort</a> in 1762. Lord Headfort was further advanced in the <a href="/wiki/Peerage_of_Ireland" title="Peerage of Ireland">peerage</a> to become The 1st <a href="/wiki/Earl_of_Bective" class="mw-redirect" title="Earl of Bective">Earl of Bective</a> in 1766. It is recorded that <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Taylour,_1st_Earl_of_Bective" title="Thomas Taylour, 1st Earl of Bective">Lord Bective</a>'s great-grandfather, also a Thomas Taylor, was a <a href="/wiki/Cartographer" class="mw-redirect" title="Cartographer">cartographer</a> who assisted <a href="/wiki/Sir_William_Petty" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir William Petty">Sir William Petty</a> with the <a href="/wiki/Down_Survey" title="Down Survey">Down Survey</a> during the previous century. </p><p>The Taylor (later Taylour) family had built a substantial mansion, <a href="/wiki/Headfort_House" title="Headfort House">Headfort House</a> (now a school), beside <a href="/wiki/Kells,_County_Meath" title="Kells, County Meath">Kells</a> in the north of <a href="/wiki/County_Meath" title="County Meath">County Meath</a>. The family (who were granted the title <a href="/wiki/Marquess_of_Headfort" title="Marquess of Headfort">Marquis of Headfort</a> in 1800) now turned their attention to making the unproductive lands around Virginia into profitable farms through land drainage and afforestation of low-lying areas, also resulting in increases in rent paid by the farm tenants. While this in itself was not unique among Irish landlords, an acre of land at twenty old pennies (20>240) became fifteen shillings (180>240) per acre before the end of the century with a premium paid by flax growers. The results of which brought employment and management to the Headfort estates and quickly led to the setting up of markets and fairs in Virginia where local produce including flax yarn and linen was traded on the streets. Virginia's population doubled between the census years of 1821 to 1841, and there was rapid construction in the town, leading to the Main Street as it is seen today. Successive <a href="/wiki/Marquess_of_Headfort" title="Marquess of Headfort">Marquesses of Headfort</a> created their own private demesne and a hunting lodge (now Park Hotel) overlooking Lough Ramor. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Famine_and_emigration">Famine and emigration</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Virginia,_County_Cavan&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Famine and emigration"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)" title="Great Famine (Ireland)">Great Famine</a>, caused by successive failures in the potato crop and the export of other foodstuffs outside of Ireland, brought with it extreme hardship for the poorer classes, with death due to diseases like <a href="/wiki/Typhus" title="Typhus">typhus</a> and <a href="/wiki/Cholera" title="Cholera">cholera</a>, prevalent due to poor sanitation, contaminated drinking water and other poor living conditions. Starvation, which impacted many parts of the country, was averted in Virginia due to the efforts of the local Famine Relief Committee, who made extra rations of Indian meal available in return for hard labour, this included women and children breaking stones for making roads and the building of the local Catholic church which took place during 1845 on lands donated by the landlord. </p><p>In subsequent years Virginia prospered with the introduction of a butter market in 1856, followed by the opening of the <a href="/wiki/Great_Northern_Railway_(Ireland)" title="Great Northern Railway (Ireland)">Great Northern Railway</a> (GNR) line between Kells and <a href="/wiki/Oldcastle,_County_Meath" title="Oldcastle, County Meath">Oldcastle</a> in March 1863. Cattle and livestock could then be moved for export, however, this also meant that products such as coal and beer could be transported from the larger towns into rural areas which led to the closure of the local malt brewery and several bakeries in the town. </p><p>Perhaps the most famous Virginia emigrant was <a href="/wiki/General_(United_States)" title="General (United States)">General</a> <a href="/wiki/Philip_Sheridan" title="Philip Sheridan">Philip H.

President Lincoln stated, "this Sheridan is a little Irishman, but a big fighter", he eventually became commanding General of the US Army and had many honours bestowed upon him. </p><p>The closure of the Virginia Roads railway station, and GNR line, in 1958, came about as Ireland's population fell to its lowest levels - the 1951 census lists Virginia with a population of just 297 persons. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Modern_development">Modern development</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Virginia,_County_Cavan&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Modern development"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 2007 the local development association submitted a proposal to have a new regional hospital built near Virginia, on a site owned by <a href="/wiki/Cavan_County_Council" title="Cavan County Council">Cavan County Council</a>.
