Southampton County, County seat in Virginia, US

Southampton County extends across the Tidewater region with the Nottoway River flowing through its agricultural lands and forested areas.

The county was established in 1749 when it separated from Isle of Wight County, with the Blackwater River serving as the boundary line.

The Cheroenhaka Nottoway Indian Tribe maintains its heritage through annual events and gatherings, including traditional ceremonies and educational programs.

Residents access county services at the administrative center in Courtland, which provides permits, tax collection, and public records management.

The county features multiple agricultural operations that produce peanuts, soybeans, and cotton across its 600 square miles of territory.
