1283. CITIES, Founding.—
There are
places [in Virginia] at which * * * the laws
have said there shall be towns; but nature has
said there shall not. * * * Accidental circumstances,
however, may control the indications
of nature, and in no instance do they do it
more frequently than in the rise and fall of
towns.—
