This county was formed from Prince George in 1734, and has an area of 349 « square miles of 273,685 acres. The Appomattox river skirts its entire northern and eastern border, and forms the dividing line on the north between the counties of Cumberland and Powhatan and east Chesterfield. Namozine creek separates it from Dinwiddie on the east. Nottoway county bounds it on the south and Prince Edward and Cumberland on the west. The county is bountifully watered by the Appomottox and its many tributaries, the principal of which are the Namozine, Deep, Winticomack and Flat creeks, each one of which course from northern to sourthern limits of the county. The Richmond and Danville Road traverses the county from north to south, dividing it into two nearly equal parts. The farm lands are very productive, raising large quantities of tobacco (about 2,000,000 pounds annually), of fine grade, besides corn, oats, wheat, and market vegetables and fruits and diary products. There are large mineral deposits, and among them may be mentioned iron, soapstone, plumbago, mica and asbestos. The average assessed value of the lands is $4 per acre.
