Southampton County was formed from Isle of Wight Co. in 1749;
a portion (west of the Blackwater River) of Nansemond Co. was later added.
The county seat is Courtland (first called Flowers' Bridge, then Jerusalem).
The City of Franklin was formed from Southampton Co. in 1961, incorporated by court order.
