Lawrenceville

Lawrenceville occupies a low, rolling stretch of south-central Virginia in Brunswick County, north of the Meherrin River. As the county seat, it serves a rural area near the North Carolina line, with US Routes 1 and 58 meeting in town. Its most consequential institution was St. Paul’s College, a historically Black college founded in 1888 by Episcopal priest James Solomon Russell; the college closed in 2013, but its story remains integral to Lawrenceville’s identity. Central streets and public buildings reflect the town’s continuing administrative role, while farmland and woodland define the wider Southside Virginia setting.
