Fluvanna County, Virginia

Fluvanna County sits in the heart of central Virginia, straddling the James River in the south. Its name comes from the Latin word for “river,” which is fitting given its geography.
The county has a rich history dating back to the 18th century. Palmyra, the county seat, is a charming small town with historic buildings. Lake Monticello, a man-made reservoir, is a popular spot for boating and fishing.
Rural landscapes dominate much of Fluvanna, with rolling hills and farmland. The county’s proximity to Charlottesville makes it an attractive bedroom community. Visitors enjoy hiking in Pleasant Grove Park.
