Sussex County is located in the southeastern part of Virginia within the coastal plain (Tidewater) region. It was established in 1754, after being carved out from the earlier land of Surry County. The county is named after Sussex, a historic county in southeast England, which was an early British settlement in the Americas.

Initially, the economy of Sussex County was primarily based on agriculture, with tobacco being the main crop. Later on, other crops, such as cotton, corn, and peanuts, played a significant role in its economy. Due to the fertile lands and rivers found throughout the county, skilled farmers could take advantage of the resources and establish a thriving agricultural community. The county proudly maintained its agricultural and rural heritage throughout its history.

During the Revolutionary War, Sussex county played a small, albeit crucial role in the supply of provisions for the revolutionary troops.

One fun fact about Sussex County is that it is home to the Virginia's Oldest Peanut Museum, which is located in the town of Waverly. The museum exhibits the history of peanut farming in the county and highlights its significance in the local economy.
