Farmville, County seat and administrative center in Prince Edward County, Virginia.
Located at an elevation of 107 meters, Farmville extends across Prince Edward County and Cumberland County along the Appomattox River headwaters.
The town gained prominence when the Southside Railroad arrived in the 1850s, transforming it into a transportation center during the steam train period.
The Robert Russa Moton Museum, housed in the former high school building, stands as a National Historic Landmark documenting civil rights education.
The town provides multiple transportation options through highways and rail connections, facilitating travel to surrounding Virginia regions.
Farmville closed all public schools for five years during the 1950s, becoming the only United States school district to take this measure.
