As of the [[2020 United States Census|2020 census]], the population was 43,010.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Prince George County, Virginia|url=https://data.census.gov/cedsci/profile?g=0500000US51149|website=[[United States Census Bureau]]|accessdate=January 30, 2022}}</ref> Its [[county seat]] is [[Prince George, Virginia|Prince George]].<ref name="GR6">{{cite web|url=http://www.naco.org/Counties/Pages/FindACounty.aspx|access-date=2011-06-07|title=Find a County|publisher=National Association of Counties}}</ref> Prince George County is located within the [[Greater Richmond Region]] of the [[U.S. state]] of [[Virginia]]. == History == Prince George County was formed in 1703 in the [[Virginia Colony]] from the portion of [[Charles City County, Virginia|Charles City County]] that was south of the [[James River]]. It was named in honor of Prince [[George of Denmark]], husband of [[Anne, Queen of Great Britain]]. In 1619, "Charles Cittie" {{sic}} was one of four "boroughs" or "incorporations" created by the [[Virginia Company]]. The first Charles City County courthouses were located along the [[James River (Virginia)|James River]] at [[Westover Plantation]] on the north side and [[City Point, Virginia|City Point]] on the south side. The Virginia Company lost its charter in 1624, and Virginia became a royal colony. [[Charles City Shire]] was formed in 1634 in the Virginia Colony by order of [[Charles I of England|Charles I]], King of England. It was named as Charles City County in 1643. Charles Cittie, Charles City Shire, and Charles City County all extended to both sides of the [[James River (Virginia)|James River]], which was the major transportation thoroughfare of the Virginia Colony throughout the 17th century. The original central city of Charles City County was Charles City Point, which was in an area south of the James River at the confluence of the [[Appomattox River]]. The name was later shortened to [[City Point, Virginia|City Point]]. In 1703, all of the original area of Charles City County south of the James River was severed to form Prince George County. As population increased, portions were divided and organized as several additional counties. City Point became an [[incorporated town]] in Prince George County. ==20th century to present== Annexed by the [[Independent city (United States)|independent city]] of [[Hopewell, Virginia|Hopewell]] in 1923, City Point is no longer in the county. Nearby the current bridges, this water-only section of the county at the [[Appomattox River]] was the site of a fatal [[bus]] accident at an open [[drawbridge]] on December 22, 1935; thirteen persons died.

[[State Route 10 (Virginia)|State Route 10]] runs along the northern shore of the James River near several of the [[List of James River plantations|James River plantations]] located in the county. [[Virginia State Route 106|State Route 106]] runs through [[Prince George, Virginia|Prince George]], the [[county seat]]. Freight [[railroad]] service for the county is provided by [[CSX Transportation]], which interchanges with [[Norfolk Southern]] at Petersburg. The famous 52-mile long tangent rail line between Petersburg and [[Suffolk, Virginia|Suffolk]] of the former [[Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad]] was built by [[William Mahone]] in the 1850s, and now forms a vital link of the Norfolk Southern system. A [[Norfolk Southern Railway]] automobile [[transloading]] facility is located nearby. There are future plans underway for a large [[Intermodal freight transport]] railroad-trucking transfer facility in Prince George County as well. ===Major highways=== * {{Jct|state=VA|I|95}}, the major north-south [[highway]] on the [[East Coast of the United States|Eastern Seaboard]], enters Prince George County from [[Sussex County, Virginia|Sussex County]]. Access to the county is available at Exits 37, 41, 45, and 46 before the road enters the [[Petersburg, Virginia|City of Petersburg]]. * {{Jct|state=VA|I|295}} is the north-south [[Bypass (road)|bypass]] around Petersburg and [[Richmond, Virginia|Richmond]], further north. Besides its southern terminus at Exit 46 on I-95, access to the county is available at Exits 3A and 3B before the road enters the [[Hopewell, Virginia|City of Hopewell]]. * {{Jct|state=VA|US|301}}, the principal south-north route Sussex County until it was supplanted by I-95. A spur of [[US Route 1]], it enters Prince George County from Sussex County and serves as a frontage road along I-95, until reaching Carson, where it moves further away from the interstate. However it does cross over I-95 at exit 41 along with an overlap of VA 35 (''see below''), and again at Exit 45 eventually entering Petersburg. * {{Jct|state=VA|US|460}}, a major west-to-east corridor that runs southeasterly in the south-central of Prince George County, as a connecting route between the Central Appalachian Mountains and the Hampton Roads area. A spur of [[US 60]], it enters the county from [[Petersburg, Virginia|Petersburg]] entering [[New Bohemia, Virginia|New Bohemia]], then later runs through [[Disputanta, Virginia|Disputanta]] before leaving the county at the Sussex County line northwest of Waverly. * {{Jct|state=VA|SR|10}}, is a state route that runs west to east along the south side of the James River. Named James River Drive throughout the county, it enters the county from Hopewell at the bridges over the Bailey Creek, and briefly takes an overlap of VA 106/156 between Ruffin Road and Jordan Point Road. From there it passes south of the privately-owned Henshaw Airport<ref>[https://www.airnav.com/airport/VG42 Henshaw Airport - VG42 (AirNav)]</ref> near Garysville, then passes through Burrowsville, and after the intersection with Chippokes Road (VSR 610), crosses the Prince George-Surry County Line. * {{Jct|state=VA|SR|35}}, a south-north state road that enters the county from rural areas north of Disputanta. The route runs mainly southeast to northwest along Courtland Street from the Sussex-Prince George County Line and terminates at a pair of Virginia Secondary Routes northwest of the US 301/VA 35 overlap in Templeton. Both VA 35 and US 301 were part of the historic Jerusalem Plank Road, which was the site of a [[Battle of Jerusalem Plank Road|Civil War Battle in Petersburg]]. * {{Jct|state=VA|VA|106}} runs northeast from Petersburg as Courthouse Road, through [[Prince George, Virginia|Prince George]], where it runs under I-295 with no interchange. It then encounters VA 156 (''see below'') which joins VA 106 in an overlap towards the [[Benjamin Harrison Memorial Bridge]]. * {{Jct|state=VA|VA|156}} runs northeast from Templeton at the southeast end of the US 301/VA 35 overlap. It passes through Disputanta, then joins VA 106 in an overlap east of Prince George where it too heads towards the [[Benjamin Harrison Memorial Bridge]]. ==Demographics== {{US Census population |1790= 8173 |1800= 7425 |1810= 8050 |1820= 8030 |1830= 8367 |1840= 7175 |1850= 7596 |1860= 8411 |1870= 7820 |1880= 10054 |1890= 7872 |1900= 7752 |1910= 7848 |1920= 12915 |1930= 10311 |1940= 12226 |1950= 19679 |1960= 20270 |1970= 29092 |1980= 25733 |1990= 27394 |2000= 33047 |2010= 35725 |2020= 43010 |estyear=2021 |estimate=42880 |estref=<ref name="USCensusEst2021">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-counties-total.html|title=Annual Estimates of the Resident Population for Counties: April 1, 2020 to July 1, 2021|access-date=April 6, 2022}}</ref> |align-fn=center |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census<ref name="DecennialCensus">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/prod/www/decennial.html|title=Census of Population and Housing from 1790|publisher=[[US Census Bureau]]|access-date=January 24, 2022}}</ref><br />1790–1960<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mapserver.lib.virginia.edu|title=Historical Census Browser|publisher=University of Virginia Library|access-date=January 4, 2014}}</ref> 1900–1990<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/population/cencounts/va190090.txt|title=Population of Counties by Decennial Census: 1900 to 1990|publisher=United States Census Bureau|access-date=January 4, 2014}}</ref><br />1990–2000<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/population/www/cen2000/briefs/phc-t4/tables/tab02.pdf|title=Census 2000 PHC-T-4.
