Geography

Amberson is located along Amberson Road in a narrow valley to the northwest of Roxbury.[2]

History

Fannett Township was incorporated as part of Cumberland County in 1761, and Francis Amberson settled in the valley in 1763.[3] Evidence points to there having been settlers in Amberson prior to Francis, however. Fannett Township was included in the new Franklin County when it was incorporated in 1784.[4]
