Cumberland County was formed from Goochland County by an act of the Virginia Assembly in 1749 and named for the Duke of Cumberland, second son of King George II. On April 22, 1776, Cumberland led the Colonies in calling for independence from Britain. This is recorded as the first positive call for American Independence issued by a governmental body. One of the last battles of the Civil War was fought at the historic (High Bridge), which spans the Appomattox River from Cumberland to Prince Edward County. This historic railroad bridge was built in 1864 with brick piers supporting a wooden superstructure, which was partially burned during the Civil War. These now stand overshadowed by their 1914 steel counterpart in use today for freight trains. General Robert E. Lee received Grant’s first communication concerning the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia while camping at Cumberland Presbyterian Church. Both of these sites are included in the driving tour of the Route of Lee’s Retreat, which follows the final campaign of the Civil War from Petersburg to Appomattox. Located in the central Piedmont area of Virginia, Cumberland County is situated near a number of the state’s largest metropolitan areas. Its central location affords easy accessibility to markets.
