Farmville, Virginia, is a historic town in central Virginia, spanning Prince Edward and Cumberland Counties about 65 miles west of Richmond. Established in 1798 and incorporated in 1912, Farmville grew from its agricultural and industrial roots—tobacco, coal, and brickmaking—into a vibrant hub shaped by education and culture. The Appomattox River and later the Southside Railroad were vital to its early growth, while landmarks like the High Bridge remain central to its identity.
Today, Farmville is home to about 7,600 residents and retains a youthful energy with a median age of 26.5, thanks in large part to Longwood University, one of Virginia’s oldest public institutions. Its population is approximately 65% White, 25% Black, and 3% Hispanic, reflecting a diverse community.
Modern Farmville blends history and progress—home to the Robert Russa Moton Museum, a key site in the Civil Rights movement, as well as High Bridge Trail State Park, a regional draw for outdoor recreation. With its rich heritage, educational anchors, and central location, Farmville is a dynamic community that continues to balance small-town character with cultural and natural attractions.
