Welcome to Powhatan, Virginia, a prime residential community nestled in the historic James River Valley basin
in central Virginia. Just 20 minutes from the state capital of Richmond and only two hours from the nation’s
capital of Washington, D.C., Powhatan offers a calm respite from the vigorous pace of these centers of
government. The gently rolling hills, verdant farmlands and large tracts of scenic woodlands are a perfect
backdrop for comfortable living. Once known for growing fine tobacco and dairy cows, Powhatan is now
growing in reputation as a fine place to raise a family. Excellent schools, affordable acreage, a good network of
interconnecting highways, careful zoning to manage growth and convenient local businesses contribute to a
quality of life that is truly exceptional.Powhatan boasts the best of both worlds: the friendliness and charm of
small-town America and the tremendous cultural, historical, educational, economic and employment
opportunities available due to its proximity to both the state’s and the nation’s capital cities.
First discovered by European explorers in the early 1600s, officially declared a county by Virginia’s Governor
Patrick Henry in the Revolutionary War era, named for the Indian Chief Powhatan, father of the Indian princess
Pocahontas and surrounded by historically significant Civil War sites, Powhatan County is steeped in American
history.The first Europeans arrived in the area in 1608, when an expedition from the Jamestown colony exploring
the James River encountered the local Monacan Indians. Much later, the area would be named after Chief
Powhatan, a powerful chief of the Algonquian Indians from the Tidewater region of Virginia and the father of the
Indian princess Pocahontas. Nearly 100 years after the Jamestown exploration, French Huguenots came to the
area looking to escape religious persecution in Europe. The Huguenots settled along the James River near the site
of abandoned Monacan Indian villages at the northern edge of the County. Many descendents of those early
arrivals still live in the area.
Powhatan County was formed in 1777 when Governor Patrick Henry and the Virginia General Assembly created
a new county from land that was part of three neighboring counties. The original courthouse was built in 1778,
and the area was named Scottville to honor a local hero, Brigadier General Charles Scott, who served with
George Washington during the Revolution. In 1836, the name of the County seat was changed to Powhatan to
avoid confusion with Scottsville, located in nearby Albemarle County. Powhatan is the only county in Virginia to
be named for an Indian leader.
During the War Between the States, Powhatan was spared the battles that raged around Richmond, but became
significant during the waning days of the Confederacy. After the fall of Richmond retreating Confederate forces
passed through the Courthouse area. Robert E. Lee also lived in the County during the summer immediately
following the war. Today, there are five sites throughout the County that are part of the Civil War Trails system,
bringing tourism to the area.
Several significant educational institutions have been associated with Powhatan. The University of Richmond
traces its roots to Powhatan in 1830. Many historically significant homes and churches are found throughout the
County, including 17 sites listed on the National or Virginia Historic Registry.
Where the Healing of the American Civil War Began
General Robert E. Lee, after his surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia on April 12, 1865 at Appomattox,
returned to the rented home where his wife and daughters resided on Franklin St. in Richmond. Broken
financially, materially and in poor health, he resided there until the end of June 1865.
June 7, 1865, brought alarming news that he and several other high-ranking Confederates were indicted for
treason by a grand jury in Norfolk. The news raced across the nation. The people of the South became enraged
over the prospects of a trial. The generous terms of surrender extended by General Ulysses S. Grant at
Appomattox were now in question. The potential of reopening the Civil War was on the horizon, for all Lee
needed to do was give the command.
Lee turned to the one man who could help: General Grant. Grant threatened to resign if Lee or any of the paroled
prisoners were prosecuted. He further stated that he was “honor bound to protect his paroled prisoners and should
do so to the full extent of his power as Commander-in-Chief of the United States Army.”
While residing in Richmond, Lee stated that he would like to find “some quiet little home in the woods.” He
found that sanctuary in western Powhatan at a little cottage called Derwent, named for a beautiful lake in
England. With the threat of treason still lingering, he and his family moved to Powhatan in late June. Through the
efforts of Lee’s former enemy, General Grant, the charges of treason were never brought against him.
Derwent represents the beginning of the healing of the Civil War, for it was here that General Lee offered his
advice, which became the law of conduct for those residing in the South. At Derwent, Lee wrote to former
Virginia Governor John Letcher, “All should unite in honest efforts to obliterate the effects of the war and to
restore the blessings of peace.” To a naval officer Lee wrote, “...I believe it to be the duty of everyone to unite in
the restoration of the country, and the reestablishment of peace and harmony...”
Of the hundreds of Civil War Trails signs that exist, the sign at Powhatan County at Derwent has been referred to
by historians as the most noble for Lee’s inspiring words for national healing. From Derwent, Lee stimulated the
vision, as well as the desire, for the South to lift itself from the devastation of warfare. Because of the inspiring
efforts of General Lee to raise the nation from the ashes of war, Powhatan, where the healing of the American
Civil War began, will be forever celebrated as the cradle of rebirth for what would become the greatest nation in
the world, the United States of America.

Powhatan County is the site of what is believed to be the first commercial coal mine in America. But it was the
fertile soil of the river basin, the excellent growing conditions and the large stands of pine and hardwood trees
that built prosperity in the area. Tobacco was introduced to the colonies in the early 1600s by an Englishman
named John Rolfe. Rolfe was an early settler in the area and the husband of Pocahontas. It wasn’t long before
tobacco became king in the Tidewater and Piedmont area of Virginia, a status it retained until recently. Food
crops were grown, including corn and wheat, but were mostly used for home consumption. Remains of some of
the early gristmills that colonists used to grind grain into flour can still be found in the area.
Early Huguenot settlers along the James River began to clear some of the magnificent stands of massive oak and
sycamore trees, as well as Virginia pine, as they set up farms. Over the next 200 years, the bottom hardwood and
high-quality pine trees were cut and shipped for use all over the world. Many of the taller pines were shipped to
England where they were valued as masts for the tall sailing ships. As the hardwoods were cut, the land filled in
with pine and other faster growing species. During the Civil War and the Siege of Richmond, both the North and
the South felled local trees for railroad ties, firewood and fence rails. Modern inventions also fueled the lumber
business in the Powhatan area. By the early 1900s, the invention of the steam engine and later the diesel and
gasoline engines made the cutting and transporting of trees easier; large tracts were clear-cut. In the years after
the war, clear-cut areas were replanted and are now managed and protected as commercial forestland.
There are more than 200 farms in Powhatan, encompassing more than 50,000 acres of land. The average size of
each farm is 239 acres. The top crops are corn and wheat for grain, soybeans and hay. Livestock, poultry and
their products account for a major portion of $8 million-plus in agricultural revenues annually.
These large parcels of forest and farmland are what give Powhatan the rural character and natural beauty that are
attracting new residents.
Agribusiness thrives in Powhatan. The rural setting and beautiful countryside is home to numerous horse farms
and a wide variety of equine services. From cashmere goats to alpacas, and honey bees to micro-greens,
Powhatan is the perfect setting for niche agribusiness. The County also boasts of successful vineyards, an orchid
nursery and a producer of goat’s milk products.
Newer industries to the Powhatan area include technology-based and auto-related businesses, construction, retail
trade and service industries. Unemployment in Powhatan County ranks among the lowest in the region.
Residents in the Powhatan area can choose from among several excellent medical facilities. CJW Medical Center
is one of the largest facilities in the nation’s largest hospital system, HCA. CJW has 758 beds on two medical
campuses in the Richmond area, Chippenham and Johnston-Willis. Each campus provides a wide range of
services, but specialty programs have been established at one hospital or the other, not at both. Together, their
services include one of the East Coast’s leading neuroscience and Gamma Knife centers, the highly accredited
Thomas Johns Cancer Center, the top-rated Levinson Heart Hospital, a full-service rehabilitation center, a 113bed facility providing mental health and substance abuse services, and extensive pediatric services including
pediatric ER, a pediatric intensive care unit and two neonatal care units.
The area’s newest hospital, Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center is located in western Chesterfield County
and provides easy access to residents in Powhatan. It is a state-of-the art facility with 130 private rooms. Services
include 24-hour emergency care, surgery, women’s services, on-site neonatology, cardiology, orthopedics,
oncology, urology, pediatric services, MRI/CT diagnostics and nuclear medicine.
Other hospitals in the greater Powhatan area include the Medical College of Virginia, Henrico Doctors’ Hospital,
Retreat Hospital and St. Mary’s Hospital.
Medical and dental offices, physical therapy and chiropractic centers are also located in the Powhatan area. The
County’s health department provides immunizations, family planning, home healthcare, maternity care and wellchild care.
Powhatan’s economy relies heavily on government, construction, retail trade and service industries. The civilian
labor force exceeds 14,230. Approximately 6,375 people are employed in Powhatan, with approximately 65
percent of the labor force commuting to surrounding areas for work. The current unemployment rate is 6.7
percent (VEC, Dec. 2009), which is comparable to surrounding counties. The median household income is one of
the highest in the state at $71,263. Taxable retail sales in 2009 were $162,406,900.
The County is governed by a five-member Board of Supervisors, and a County Administrator who oversees daily
operations of the County. The County is also well served by a sheriff, under sheriff, 17 patrol deputies who
provide police protection, and five state police officers. A fire chief and 130-member volunteer fire department
provides excellent fire-fighting capabilities.

In order to support economic development in the County, Powhatan has a program to provide water and sewer
service to business corridors. The Board of Supervisors adopted Water and Sewer Service Districts years ago,
which encompass the area along the Route 60 corridor from the Powhatan/Chesterfield boundary to west of
Route 522 (Maidens Road) and in the Courthouse Square Village.
The Fighting Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant was opened in 2000. This facility serves the western sewer
district including the Courthouse area. The Dutoy Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant was opened in 2003. It is
designated to serve the eastern sewer districts.
Public Sewer service is currently available to most of the Courthouse Square Village area, as well as along Route
60 from Mann Road to Academy Road. Future service is likely to be extended from Academy Road to Red Lane
Road.
In 2006, the County began a project to establish waterlines and sewer infrastructure from the Chesterfield County
line west on Route 60 to Batterson Road. This project was completed in early 2008 and has allowed Powhatan to
utilize the water capacity it purchased from Chesterfield in the late 1990s. While Powhatan currently only
averages about 50,000 gallons per day, the agreement with Chesterfield allows up to 572,000 gallons per day.
Services have since been extended into several developments including Oakbridge Industrial Park and South
Creek Commercial Center.
The County is undertaking a project to extend waterlines and sewer infrastructure from Judes Ferry Road to
Rocky Oak Road. This project is anticipated for completion in spring/summer 2011. Future extensions will make
both water and sewer service available along Route 60 further west to Red Lane Road.
A few areas in the County receive water service from Aqua Virginia, a privately owned water company,
including the Courthouse Square area and a portion of Route 60 around Academy Road. Although privately
owned, these systems are still required to operate as a public utility in the areas they serve and must meet the
same quality standards as any other municipally owned system. Customers’ water is tested for problems such as
bacteria, metals, inorganic materials, high radioactive levels, nitrates, pesticides and other contaminates.
Other areas within the County utilize private wells and septic tanks with drain fields for their water and sewer
needs. Regulations and other information regarding these systems may be obtained by calling the environmental
health specialist with the Powhatan Health Department at 598-5680.
If you have specific questions about where services are available or are looking to develop property along Route
60, the staff in the County’s Department of Utilities & General Services can assist in your planning. You may
contact the office at 598-5764.
The Powhatan area is well served by more than 50 churches and houses of worship, representing many religious
denominations. Religious leaders offer spiritual guidance and offer assistance to those in need.

Located in the heart of the Village, 3887 Old Buckingham Road, beside the County Seat Restaurant and across
from the Courthouse, the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce is the largest business support organization in the
area. Now in its 22nd year, the Chamber lists more than 230 members and is self-sustaining, providing its
services with no governmental support.
Our Mission
The Powhatan Chamber of Commerce is an association of business, professional, and civic minded members
who promote the free enterprise system, economic growth and the prosperity of Powhatan County.
Our Vision
Powhatan Chamber of Commerce serves as the primary resource to promote an unsurpassed opportunity for
business growth in a community with an unparalleled quality of life.
Doing Business in Powhatan - “Give Powhatan the Business”
Our goals include a campaign designed to keep sales tax dollars at home. Shopping locally benefits the
municipality in which you live. If you are new to the community or a seasoned Powhatan resident, keep in mind
that you can find almost everything you need right here in your County.
A primary attraction for new business growth in the County is the absence of a gross receipts-based business,
professional, and occupational license tax. The Chamber is proud to stand up publicly against this unfair tax.
Why Join the Chamber?
Full-time representation and year-round results are rewards of belonging to the Powhatan Chamber of
Commerce. The Chamber serves as both salesperson and advocate to local business. It unceasingly promotes
local products and services while at the same time protecting business interests. A single voice can go unheard,
but the collective voice of the Chamber is effective in helping to make Powhatan a wonderful place to work and
live.
