Notes:

In 1728, William Byrd headed an expedition sent to determine the true boundary between Virginia and North Carolina. One night late that summer, the party camped upstream from what is now Danville, Byrd was so taken with the beauty of the land, that he prophesied a future settlement in the vicinity, where people would live ?with much comfort and gaiety of Heart.? The river along which he camped was named the ?Dan?, for Byrd, supposing himself to be in the land of plenty, felt he had wandered ?from Dan to Beersheba?.
The first white settlement (numerous Native American tribes had lived in the area) occurred downstream from Byrd?s campsite in 1792, at a spot along the river shallow enough to allow fording. It was named 'Wynne?s Falls,? after the first settler. The village has a ?social? reason for its origin, since it was here that pioneering Revolutionary War veterans met once a year to fish and talk over old times.
The establishment by the General Assembly of a tobacco warehouse at Wynne?s Falls in 1793 was the beginning of ?The World?s Best Tobacco Market.? Virginia?s largest market for bright leaf tobacco. The village was renamed Danville by act of the Virginia Legislature on November 23, 1793. A charter for the town was drawn up February 17, 1830, but by the time of its issue, the population had exceeded the pre-arranged boundaries. This necessitated a new charter, which was issued in 1833. In that year, James Lanier was elected the first mayor, assisted by a council of ?twelve fit and able men.?
On July 22, 1882, six of Danville's enterprising citizens founded the Riverside Cotton Mills, which was in its day known the country over as Dan River Inc., the largest single-unit textile mill in the world. The mill is now closed, and many of its buildings have been torn down and the bricks sold. One very important building, "The White Mill," is now being renovated as an apartment complex.
On September 9, 1882, Danville mayor John H. Johnston shot and killed his chief of police John E. Hatcher, after Hatcher demanded an apology for a statement Johnston had made regarding unaccounted fine money. Johnston was charged with murder, and acquitted at trial.

Harold died at age 30. He had contracted what was later determined to be the flu, and his local doctor treated him with a new 'wonder drug' called Sulphathysol. He reacted to it and the doctor doubled the dose instead of taking him off of the drug. His kidneys collapsed and he died. Harold was a Baptist Minister, as was his father. When Harold died, his wife, Sara Hughey was 6 weeks pregnant with their second child.
