History Timeline [edit | edit source]

George Montagu-Dunk, second Earl of Halifax (1716-1771)

Halifax County, Virginia is named after George Montagu-Dunk, the 2nd Earl of Halifax (1716-1771). (The same tin can be said for Halifax (NC).) He was a British statesman and was president of the Board of Trade from 1748 to 1761. He was as well a friend of Robert Dinwiddie, who was governor of the colony of Virginia.

The first canton seat was Peytonsburg (now in Pittsylvania County). The current county seat of Halifax County is Halifax, which has served equally such since 1800. The county was established in May, 1752 from Lunenburg County. Halifax County originally extended equally far west every bit the Blue Ridge Mountains.

The counties of Henry, Patrick, and Pittsylvania Counties were formed out of Halifax Canton, as well as the southern half of Franklin Canton. In addition, parts of Bedford and Floyd Counties were formed from Halifax.

Pittsylvania County was formed in 1766 or 1767 (sources differ) as a subdivision of Halifax. The other counties mentioned were and then formed out of Pittsylvania. At the time that Pittsylvania County bankrupt away from Halifax County, the latter county took on its nowadays outline.

The boundaries of Antrim Parish were identical to those of Halifax County when the county was formed in 1752. Later Pittsylvania County was formed, the boundaries of Antrim Parish were adapted to match those of the present form of Halifax Canton.
