Prior to 1714, Virginians were proscribed from settling beyond the Nottoway River due to the potential threat from Indians residing in the region. Settlement of this region was made possible in 1714, when Governor Alexander Spotswood corralled Virginia's remaining Indians and brokered a treaty with North Carolina establishing a compromise over the location of the colonies' shared boundary. In 1728 the boundary was formalized. Corn, hay, livestock and dairy remained important agricultural specialties of the region. South Boston established itself as Virginia's second largest tobacco market and, as a result, much of the county's commercial and trade activity was centered around the Halifax-South Boston area. The largest manufacturing employers were the textile mills of Burlington, Halifax Cotton Mill and Carter Fabrics which later became J.P. Stevens. A variety of other major manufacturing industries began locating in Halifax County in the 1960s which began to change the nature of southside Virginia. Daystom Furniture and Westinghouse (now ABB) began the influx followed by the creation of several industrial parks. Let’s see the Virginia Golf Courses in Halifax County.
