Guide to Farmville HISTORY

Prince Edward County was formed in 1754 from Amelia County and named for Edward Augustus, son of Frederick, Prince of Wales. For over 100 years, the county courthouse was located at Worsham. Patrick Henry, five-time Governor of Virginia, lived in Prince Edward County from 1786 to 1794 and served as Prince Edward’s representative in the Virginia General Assembly. It was during that time that he delivered his famous “Give me Liberty or Give Me Death” speech. Hampden-Sydney College, located 5 miles south of Farmville, was founded Jan. 1, 1776. Hampden-Sydney College is the 10th oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and the last to be founded under the British Crown. Chartered in 1839, Farmville Female Seminary, presently Longwood University, was established in Farmville. Longwood was the first state teacher training college in Virginia. The Civil War, during its final stages impacted the community with both armies marching through Farmville. The last major battle of the Civil War in Virginia was April 6, 1865, at Sailor’s Creek, located on the Prince Edward and Amelia County lines.

Before Selma, before Montgomery, there was Farmville, where young people made history. Farmville, Virginia’s former Robert Russa Moton High School, now a National Historic Landmark and Museum helps to preserve and constructively interpret the history of Civil Rights in education, specifically as it relates to the leading role that local Prince Edward County citizens played in America’s transition from segregation to integration. On April 23, 1951, a group of Moton High School students led by 16-yr old Barbara Rose Johns walked out of school. This effort produced threefourths of the plaintiffs in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), a landmark Supreme Court decision. From 1959 to 1964, Prince Edward County closed their public schools to avoid integration. The Supreme Court in Griffin v. Prince Edward (1964) ordered schools to reopen, declaring “the time for mere ‘deliberate speed’ had run out.”
