History


The county is named after Princess Anne (1665-1714), who became Queen regnant of England, Scotland and Ireland in 1702.

Parent County
Formed in 1691 when Lower Norfolk County went extinct and was divided into the two new counties of Norfolk and Princess Anne. It became extinct itself in 1963 after its consolidation with the independent city of Virginia Beach. County seat: Kempsville

Boundary Changes
In 1963, Princess Anne County went extinct and the area was absorbed into the independent city of Virginia Beach.
