Settled in the early 1600's, Chesterfield County is
steeped in history. Five historic villages remain:
Bon
Air, Midlothian, the site of the first coal mine in
America, Chester,
Ettrick and
Matoaca.
All of these villages retain their quiet, rural charm,
surrounded by the pristine beauty of Chesterfield
County, VA.
The county has 446 square miles of land that includes
more than 8,700 acres of woodlands and public parks, a
true joy for nature enthusiasts. Bounded by the Appomattox and
James
rivers, along with the 3000 acre Lake
Chesdin to the south and Swift Creek to
the west, Chesterfield County is a paradise for hunters
and birdwatchers alike.
Chesterfield County is centrally situated on the eastern
seaboard, making it within a one-day drive to 50 % of
the U.S. population. Local businesses find
themselves halfway between the markets of the north and
the south with easy access to Interstates 64, 95, 85,
and 295. The Chesterfield
County Airport is located at the center of a
triangle formed by the rapidly growing cities of Richmond,
Petersburg
and Hopewell.
The sprawling, thriving city of Richmond overlaps into
Chesterfield County's borders, and the Richmond
International Airport along with the Port
of Richmond are available for local business usage.
The county seat is Chesterfield where
the first iron furnace was built, and the towns of Bellwood, and
Moseley are
other suburban choices for residency for the County
population of 209,000 (census 2000). The climate
is moderate and temperate, with four full seasons
and gentle winters, allowing an active outdoor lifestyle
for Chesterfield County residents.
Growth is definitely on its
way for Chesterfield County, VA, but the County leaders
have strong vision and an iron-clad commitment to
preserving the natural beauty and high quality of life
that make Chesterfield such a desirable place to live.
