Southampton County was formed on 20 May 1749 from the southwestern part of Isle of Wight County. It's name probably derived from the borough of Southampton in England. In 1785 the lands of Nansemond County south of the Nottoway and Blackwater rivers were cut off and added to Southampton.
Settlers migrated into the region at a very early date, and a few settlements were present in the first quarter of the seventeenth century, notably Smith's Hundred.
