About Farmville
Farmville is a town in Prince Edward (south of the Appomattox river) and Cumberland (north of the Appomattox river) counties in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and is the county seat of the former. The population was 7,473 at the 2020 census. Farmville was a major tobacco growing area in Virginia for over 100 years.
Farmville developed near the headwaters of the Appomattox River in central Virginia; the waterway was long its main transportation access to other markets. In the 19th century, a railroad through Farmville was developed, operating until the early 2000s, and subsequently adapted as the High Bridge Trail State Park, a rail trail park, approximately 30-mile-in length (48 km). US 15, VA 45 and US 460 now intersect at Farmville. The town is the home of Longwood University and is the town nearest to Hampden–Sydney College, which together comprise the core of the town's modern economy.
