Everettsville is an unincorporated community in Albemarle County, Virginia.[1]

In the mid-19th century, it was a point along the stagecoach route between Richmond and Staunton.[2] Nicholas Trist's wife and children briefly took up residence here in early 1829 as they awaited word to follow Trist to Washington.[3]
