New Kent County, Administrative division in Virginia, United States.
New Kent County spans 223 square miles of rolling hills between the Pamunkey and Chickahominy Rivers in southeastern Virginia.
Established in 1654 through the division of York County, New Kent received its name from settlers who relocated from Kent Island, Maryland.
The county maintains St. Peter's Church, the location where George Washington and Martha Washington exchanged their wedding vows in the 18th century.
The county government provides detailed standards for utility infrastructure, including specifications for waterlines, sewer systems, and generator fuel piping.
