Creation: The Virginia Manual Labor School (later became Hanover Learing Center) received 0.90 miles of state mileage in 1932. A number was assigned about 1938. This is the 3rd VA 326. Adjustments: 0.35 miles was added in Sept 1938 (CTB) before a number was assigned. Posting: Shields and white rectangles at SR 605. Comment: This is a boys' facility; Has been on most (if not all) official VDOT maps since 1941. Some major mapmakers show this one too, though they make it look like it connects directly to US 301-VA 2, which it does not. The Hanover Learning Center officially closed April 19, 2013 and the site is now the Virginia Public Safety Training Center.

VA 326 #1: Created March 1924 (CTB) as a 0.5 mile spur from VA 32 (probably SR 1001) to the courthouse in Palmyra. Appears on the 1924, 1927 and 1928 Official maps but not 1926. It is unclear what happened to VA 326 in August 1928. It may have been decommissioned as a state route; It may have become the routing of US 15/VA 32 in the transition from US 15 running through Palmyra to the east edge. This theory fits with the fact that the Rivanna River bridge is dated 1931, meaning US 15 cut over via the courthouse to its new alignment from 1928-31. As far as I can tell, VA 326 did NOT become a VA 7xx in the 1928-33 system (would've been 714).

VA 326 #2: Created in June 1932 (CTB Minutes) as an unidentified new primary route. The 1932 VDOT County Atlas shows VA 326 as a stub running 0.8 miles from US 60/VA 10 (current US 460) to Evergreen. In July 1933 this became VA 132. Today it is part of SR 630.
