.Southampton County, located in the great state of Virginia, dates back to its official formation in 1749. The county was named in honor of Charles FitzRoy, the third Earl of Southampton and a prominent British nobleman. Southampton County is part of the larger region known as Southside Virginia, which refers to the southern portion of the state between the James and Roanoke Rivers.
Throughout its history, Southampton County has been predominantly rural, with agriculture serving as the backbone of the local economy. Tobacco, peanuts, soybeans, and cotton are among the primary crops produced in the region.
One of the most significant historical events that took place in Southampton County was the Nat Turner Rebellion in 1831. Nat Turner, an African American enslaved preacher, led a deadly slave uprising that resulted in the deaths of about 60 white individuals. The rebellion ultimately led to the tightening of slave laws and increased tensions between the North and the South preceding the Civil War.
Southampton County has also produced notable figures such as U.S. Senator and Confederate diplomat James Murray Mason, and Virginia Governor and Confederate General William "Extra Billy" Smith.
