Crozet is an unincorporated town along the I-64 corridor approximately 12 miles west of Charlottesville and 21 miles east of Staunton. Founded as "Wayland's Crossing", Crozet was renamed in 1870 in honor of Colonel Claudius Crozet, the French-born civil engineer who directed the construction of the Blue Ridge Tunnel. The 2000 census recorded a population of 2,820. Crozet is in the White Hall magisterial district. Crozet gets its municipal water from Beaver Creek Reservoir, which is maintained by the Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority.
