Powhatan County Overview
Created in 1777, Powhatan County in Virginia had a population of 28,046 as of the 2010 census. The county seat is Powhatan. The James River forms the county’s northern border, and the Appomattox River is on the south side. The county is named for the paramount chief of the powerful confederacy of tribes of Algonquian-speaking Native Americans in the Tidewater in 1607, when the British settled at Jamestown. Historically this Piedmont area had been occupied by the Siouan-speaking Monacan. They moved further west, abandoning villages in this area, under pressure from colonists. In 1700 French Huguenot refugees settled at their abandoned village, which they renamed as Manakin Town, which was located above the falls on the James River. French refugees also settled at Manakin-Sabot, a village in Goochland County, Virginia. The county has as total area of 262 square miles, almost all of which is land. Adjacent counties are: Goochland to the north, Chesterfield to the east, Amelia to the south, Cumberland to the west, and Henrico to the east. Four zip codes are used by the county, the largest of which is 23139.
