Halifax was formed in 1752 from Lunen- burg, and takes high rank in wealth and popu- lation. It borders on the State of North Caro- lina, with the counties of Campbell and Char- lotte on the north, Pittsylvania on the west and Mecklenburg and Charlotte on the east. This is one of the best watered counties in the State the whole eastern and northern parts being skirted by the Staunton river, while its middle part is drained by the Banister, and the southern by the Dan, of which the Banis- ter is tributary. The Roanoke river is formed on the eastern confines of this county by the junction of the Staunton and Dan. The Southern Railway traverses the county from northeast to southwest, and the Norfolk and Western from north to south, furnishing most excellent facilities by which to reach the dif- ferent markets with its large, varied and valued productions. The Lynchburg and Dur- ham division of the Norfolk & Western Rail- way traverses the county from north to south, and the Norfolk division of the Southern Rail- way the south side from east to west. Hali- fax is the centre of the great bright tobacco growing counties of Virginia and North Caro- lina, producing nearly double the quantity of the largest tobacco-growing county in North Carolina, and next to Pittsylvania, more than any other county in Virginia.
Rye, wheat, vegetables, fruits and the dairy products are of considerable value and pay well for the attention given them. A great many very fine horses, cattle and sheep are raised, this industry of late years growing in favor and importance as a source of wealth.
