Nottoway County, situated along the James River, comprises 316 square miles and includes 15,853 residents. The county was a crossroads in the state between the western “frontier” west of Richmond and Petersburg.
In 1850, the railroad came to Nottoway, forever shaping the history of the county. Crewe, one of the largest towns in the county, grew up around Robertson’s siding, a railroad switching yard built in the 1880s. The town’s boom lasted until recent years when declining tobacco demand, closing of various railroad lines, and other changes led many families to seek work in nearby Richmond. Nevertheless, visitors can still see the area’s rich railway history in the Crewe Railroad Museum and view beautiful homes in the town’s center, many built around the time of Robertson’s siding in the late 1800s.
Nottoway County raised several companies during the Civil War, one of which fought at the Battle of Gettysburg. The Nottoway company was at the front of Pickett’s Charge, and many Nottoway County residents lost their young men in the battle.
Today the area produces timber and other agricultural products. Fort Pickett, home to the Virginia National Guard, is located in Nottoway County.
