The Northern Neck Proprietary – also called the Northern Neck land grant, Fairfax Proprietary, or Fairfax Grant – was a land grant first contrived by the exiled English King Charles II in 1649 and encompassing all the lands bounded by the Potomac and Rappahannock Rivers in colonial Virginia. This constituted up to 5,000,000 acres (20,000 km2) of Virginia's Northern Neck and a vast area northwest of it. The grant became actual in 1660 when Charles was restored to the English throne. By 1719, these lands had been inherited by Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron (1693-1781). By that time the question of the boundaries of the designated lands had also become highly contentious. It was decided in 1746 that a line between the sources of the North Branch of the Potomac and the Rappahannock River (the "Fairfax Line") would constitute the western limit of Lord Fairfax's lands. The unsettled portions of his domain were finally confiscated during the American Revolution by the Virginia Act of 1779 and when he died in 1781 the Proprietary effectively ceased to exist. A portion of this estate, however, was later the subject of the landmark Supreme Court case Martin v. Hunter's Lessee (1816). (en) La Northern Neck Proprietary (detta anche concessione terriera del Northern Neck, Fairfax Proprietary, o concessione terriera Fairfax) fu una concessione terriera concessa dall'esiliato re Carlo II nel 1649 e comprendente tutte le terre comprese tra i fiumi Potomac e Rappahannock nella Colonia della Virginia. Essa copriva un'area di oltre 20.000 km², comprendendo la regione del Northern Neck ed una vasta area ad ovest di esso. La concessione divenne effettiva nel 1660 quando Carlo II venne restaurato al trono inglese. Nel 1719, queste terre vennero ereditate da Thomas Fairfax, VI lord Fairfax di Cameron (1693-1781). Al tempo la questione dei confini reali del possedimento portò a non pochi contenziosi. Nel 1746 venne deciso di annettervi anche una linea di terra per connettere la riva nord del fiume Potomac con le terre presso il fiume Rappahannock (nota come ""). Le parti non insediate di questa concessione vennero confiscate dal governo con la rivoluzione americana tramite il Virginia Act del 1779 e quando questi morì nel 1781 la concessione terriera terminò a tutti gli effetti. Una porzione del possedimento, ad ogni modo, fu soggetta ad una causa presso la corte suprema degli Stati Uniti . (it) |
