Chesterfield & Midlothian Local History, Parks & Community Context
Chesterfield County and Midlothian combine a long history with continued residential growth. Chesterfield County was established in 1749, and its communities reflect that history through historic villages, former industrial sites, established neighborhoods and newer planned developments. For households moving into the area, that creates a wide range of residential settings and community layouts.
Midlothian’s Coal-Mining History
Midlothian is closely connected to the early history of commercial coal mining in North America. According to Chesterfield County's Mid-Lothian Mines Park history, coal was discovered in the area around 1701 and commercial production began by the mid-1730s. The Chesterfield Railroad, built in 1831 to carry coal to the James River, was Virginia's first chartered railroad. Today, Mid-Lothian Mines Park preserves the historic mine ruins as a 44-acre county park with trails, picnic areas and historical features.
Bon Air and Chester’s Historic Character
Bon Air began developing in 1877 as a late-19th-century resort community, and its historic district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988, with buildings dating from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Chester also has an important place in local history, including its connection to the Civil War-era Battle of Chester Station. Additional information is available through Chesterfield County's Historic and Designated Landmarks and historical resources.
Parks and Outdoor Destinations
The area's parks and conservation areas are another important part of life in Central Virginia. Rockwood Park includes trails and Gregory's Pond near the county's nature center. Robious Landing Park provides James River access, trails, picnic areas and outdoor recreation. Dutch Gap Conservation Area includes wetlands, trails, water access and connections to Henricus Historical Park. In Moseley, the Metro Richmond Zoo offers 150 acres of animal habitats and is home to more than 2,000 animals. The Chesterfield County Fair, an annual community tradition since 1911, is held each August at the County Fairgrounds.
Richmond Access
Chesterfield and Midlothian sit directly southwest of Richmond, connected by the Powhite Parkway (VA-76), I-288 and Chippenham Parkway (VA-150). These routes put most of downtown Richmond within about 15 minutes' drive and Richmond International Airport within about 20 to 25 minutes. That access makes it easy for residents to reach the city's museums, dining, sports venues and other attractions while living in a lower-density, more residential setting.
