Prince Edward County, Administrative county in central Virginia, United States
Prince Edward County spans 354 square miles with diverse landscapes, including agricultural fields, forests, and waterways that flow into the Appomattox River.
The county, established in 1752, gained national attention during civil rights movements when local schools closed from 1959 to 1964 to resist integration.
Educational institutions shape the county's identity, with Farmville serving as an academic center through its public schools and higher education facilities.
The county seat of Farmville provides governmental services, retail establishments, and educational facilities for the 21,849 residents recorded in 2020.
Robert Russa Moton High School, now a National Historic Landmark, initiated student protests that contributed to the Brown v. Board of Education case.
