Carrollton, VA

Carrollton is a census-designated place in Isle of Wight County, near the southern end of the James River. It is named for the Carroll family, prominent local landowners in the 19th century, and the broader ZIP code stretches toward the river. Carrollton sits in the suburbanizing space between Smithfield, Suffolk, Newport News, and Hampton Roads bridges. It feels spread out and residential, with county roads, schools, shopping, and river-adjacent geography shaping the community more than a single main street.
