Over the years, the city of Charlottesville and Albemarle County have had many disputes over boundaries. Currently the county pays the city each year according to the terms of a 1982 revenue sharing agreement.

A referendum was held on March 3, 1970 on the issue of merging the city and county into one entity. However, it was defeated 2 to 1 by city voters and 4 to 1 by county voters. The next year the city drew up plans to annex 11.3 square miles of county land. In September a judge would deny the petition.

There was also talk of reversion to a town in the late 1990's but that effort concluded in late 1999. [2]
