History

Formed in 1754 from Amelia County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Prince Edward County was created from Amelia County in 1754 and named after Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany. In 1845, Prince Edward County lost territory to the creation of Appomattox County.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
