New Kent County, Administrative division in Virginia, United States.
New Kent County is an administrative division in southeastern Virginia that stretches between the Pamunkey and Chickahominy Rivers. The landscape features rolling terrain shaped by these two waterways that define the region's geography.
The county was established in 1654 when it split from York County and was named after settlers from Kent Island, Maryland. This early founding made it one of the older administrative units in the region.
The county preserves St. Peter's Church, where George Washington and Martha Washington were married. This place remains a window into the Washington family's past for visitors to explore.
Visitors can explore the county through regional roads and find various public sites of historical interest. It helps to research the exact locations of main attractions before arriving.
During the American Revolution, an enslaved man named James worked as a double agent for the colonists. He provided Lafayette with crucial information during the Yorktown campaign.
