About Goochland

Goochland, often called Goochland Courthouse, is a historic village that serves as the county seat of Goochland County, Virginia. Located just north of the James River and roughly thirty miles west of Richmond, the community centers around a classic 1826 red-brick courthouse built in the Jeffersonian style. Scenic countryside and quiet back roads define the area, while Route 6, Route 522, and nearby Interstate 64 keep you well connected to the rest of Central Virginia.

The village has a population of under a thousand residents, functioning as the civic and gathering hub for the surrounding rural county. Families are served by Goochland County Public Schools, and locals enjoy neighborhood parks, small businesses, and a relaxed, welcoming pace of living. It offers a quiet, scenic lifestyle with an easy commute to the dining, shopping, and job centers of greater Richmond.
