Goochland County was formed in 1728. The James River forms the southern boundary for a distance of 40 miles. Goochland touches borders with seven neighboring counties with its present day northern boundary just crossing I-64. The middle of Goochland County is approximately 30-minutes from downtown Charlottesville and 30-minutes from the Capitol City of Richmond, Virginia. J. Sargeant Community College campus in Courthouse Village is the campus to watch for future growth due to its proximity to adjoining counties. The picturesque beauty of Goochland horse and cattle farms so close to shopping amenities such as Short Pump Town Center, Regency Square & Stoney Point Mall, as well as downtown Richmond and West Creek Business Park, make the county the ideal for rural living. Enjoy the James River, horses, gardening, biking, organic produce from one of the largest Farmer's Markets in the area, and many annual local festivals nestled among the rolling hills of Goochland County.
