Powhatan County, Virginia, is a historically significant and steadily growing area located about 20 miles west of Richmond in the Central Piedmont region. Founded in 1777 and named after Chief Powhatan, the father of Pocahontas, the county’s early roots include settlements by French Huguenots in the 1700s. The county seat, also called Powhatan, was originally known as Scottville and has long served as the area’s central hub. Covering 272 square miles, Powhatan had an estimated population of 32,105 in 2023, marking a nearly 6% increase since 2020. With a median household income of around $110,700 and a median home value of $381,300, the county offers a comfortable mix of rural charm and suburban access. Residents enjoy natural attractions like Powhatan State Park along the James River and benefit from being close to Richmond’s cultural, educational, and healthcare institutions. Combining scenic beauty, historical depth, and modern growth, Powhatan is an appealing place for both longtime locals and newcomers.
