1762 is the year in which Charlottesville was chartered as a town in the Colony of Virginia. City Council has set aside $50,000 for a celebration of Charlottesville's 250th Anniversary to mark the event in 2012. Staff have been meeting with community leaders and potential partners to discuss how to proceed with the celebration.[1] The target date for a celebration is November 12, 2012, the 250th anniversary of the drafting of Charlottesville's charter. [2]

Becky Clay Christensen is the facilitator for the city the process of preparing for Charlottesville's 250th Anniversary, which will have the theme "a Year of Stories."[2]

Part of celebration will involve digging up a time capsule that was buried in 1962, but only if it can be located. Steven Meeks of the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society says it may be buried near Charlottesville's circuit court, but no one knows for sure.[2]
