Powhatan County, Virginia
Powhatan County is just west of Richmond. It’s where city meets country. The James River forms its northern border. That means plenty of water fun in the summer.
The county is named after the famous Native American chief. History runs deep here, including old plantations on the landscape. But new folks are moving in, drawn by the good schools.
Powhatan State Park is a local favorite. Hiking, biking, horseback riding… Yep, they’ve got it all. The county fair is popular so don’t miss it if you’re around in August. It’s the kind of place where people know their neighbors.
