About Farmville

Tucked into central Virginia along the Appomattox River, Farmville is a vibrant college town with a friendly, small-town feel. Home to around 7,500 residents, the town benefits from the youthful energy of Longwood University downtown and Hampden-Sydney College just down the road. You will find a walkable Main Street lined with local diners, cafes, and independent shops, along with convenient highway connections that put Richmond, Charlottesville, and Lynchburg within an easy drive.

Outdoor access and local history are woven directly into the community. High Bridge Trail State Park runs straight through the middle of town, offering miles of level paths for biking and walking that lead to the towering, historic rail bridge over the river valley. Farmville also holds a pivotal place in civil rights history, preserved at the Moton Museum where a 1951 student strike helped spur the desegregation of America's public schools. With its quiet neighborhoods, active arts and dining scene, and easygoing pace, Farmville offers a comfortable place to call home.
