The second member of Virginia's "Presidential Series" of peach varieties was named and released by the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station of Virginia Polytechnic Institute on August 1, 1960. This new variety was given the name Jefferson, in honor of Thomas Jefferson, Virginia's second contribution to the Presidency of our Nation. The name selected is in accordance with the plan suggested by Director H. N. Young of the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station, that new varieties of peaches developed in Virginia be named after Virginians who were elected President of the United States.
