King and Queen County, Virginia

King and Queen County Location Map Virginia

King and Queen County is located in eastern Virginia. It’s a long, narrow county stretching from the Middle Peninsula east of Richmond. The county got its name from King William III and Queen Mary II of England.

Not much has changed here over the years. It’s still mostly rural. Forests and farms dominate the landscape. The population is small. It has fewer than 7,000 people who call it home.

But that’s part of its charm. The Dragon Run, a pristine stream, is a paddler’s paradise. Historians will love the old courthouse as it’s been in continuous use since 1750. Locals are proud of their strong sense of community. If you’re looking for peace and quiet, King and Queen County delivers.
