The history of the daffodil in Gloucester County,
Virginia is almost as old as the county itself.
When Gloucester was formed in 1651 from part
of York County the early settlers brought these soft
reminders of English springs as they established
themselves in the area. The soil and weather
conditions were ideal for daffodils.
The bulbs were passed from neighbor to neighbor and
spread from orderly beds and burying grounds to the
great houses to the fields.
