The Nimcock had a village on the river where Urbanna was later developed. English settlement of the area began around 1640, with the county being officially formed in 1668 from a part of Lancaster County.[3] This settlement pushed the Nimcock upriver. The county&#8217;s only incorporated town, Urbanna, was established by the colonial Assembly in 1680 as one of 20 50-acre port towns designated for trade. It served initially as a port on the Rappahannock River for shipping agricultural products, especially the tobacco commodity crop. As the county developed, it became its commercial and governmental center.&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Middlesex_County,_Virginia\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This area was long settled by indigenous peoples; those encountered by Europeans were of the Algonquian-speaking peoples, part of loose alliance of tribes known as the Powhatan Confederacy.
