Richmond Region. The James River forms the county's northern border, and the Appomattox River is on
the south side. The county is named for the paramount chief of the powerful confederacy of tribes of
Algonquian-speaking Native Americans in the Tidewater in 1607, when the British settled at Jamestown.
Historically this Piedmont area had been occupied by the Siouan-speaking Monacan, who moved west
under pressure from colonists. In 1700 French Huguenot refugees settled at their abandoned village,
known as Manakin Town, which was located above the falls on the James River. In May 1777, the Virginia
General Assembly created Powhatan County out of land from the eastern portion of Cumberland County
between the Appomattox and James rivers. Residents named the county in honor of Chief Powhatan,
paramount chief of the Powhatan Confederacy. He had allied with Algonquian-speaking tribes in the
Tidewater, numbering about 30,000 in population at the time of the Jamestown settlement. He was also
the father of Pocahontas, whom colonists perceived as friendly. While in captivity, she accepted
Christianity and married English settler John Rolfe. Many of their descendants were counted among the
First Families of Virginia. For the first two years after the county was formed, Mosby Tavern served as the
Powhatan County courthouse. When a new courthouse was built in 1778, the immediate area was named
"Scottville" after General Charles Scott, a Revolutionary War soldier. He was later elected governor of the
Commonwealth of Kentucky after it was formed in 1792 as a separate state from land ceded by Virginia.
The courthouse area was later named Powhatan.[11] During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the
county became more developed with expansive plantations as the frontier moved west. Yeomen farmers
moved further into the backcountry where land was more affordable. The larger planters used numerous
African-American slaves to produce tobacco, and later mixed crops, including wheat. The county
continued to be organized on an agricultural economy until after World War II. It still has rural
