South Hill

Few towns in Virginia have a history as closely tied to railroad building and the tobacco trade as South Hill. Established around a rail station in the late 19th century, it became a commercial centre for Mecklenburg County’s agricultural hinterland and was incorporated in 1901. Today Interstate 85 and U.S. Route 1 meet here, while the Tobacco Heritage Trail follows former rail corridors through Southside Virginia. South Hill stands in the rolling country of the Meherrin River basin, with Lake Gaston to the southeast.
