Powhatan County is situated in the Commonwealth of Virginia, in the United States. The county is part of the greater Richmond metro region and was formed in 1777, primarily from the eastern portion of the historically significant Cumberland County. It was named after the native Powhatan people who inhabited the area, and their leader, Chief Powhatan, who was notably the father of Pocahontas.
The native Powhatan tribe had a significant impact on the history of the region, living in harmony with the land and its resources. The relationship between the Powhatan people and English settlers during the early years of colonization was both cooperative and turbulent. The marriage of Pocahontas and colonist John Rolfe in 1614 led to several years of peace between the two groups.
Agriculture has, historically, been a prominent economic driver for Powhatan County, with tobacco farming being particularly important during its early years.
