    Courtland is an incorporated town in Southampton County, Virginia, United States. The population was 1,270 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Southampton County. Originally named Jerusalem, the town was given its present name in 1888. It served as Southampton County's only town through the 18th century, and was, as it remains, the county seat. This quiet little town was formed in 1791 on the north shore of the Nottoway River on a parcel of ten acres (40,000 m²) beside the courthouse. In 1831, the town became famous as it hosted the trials and subsequent executions of Nat Turner and those involved in the Nat Turner's Slave Rebellion of 1831. At this time, according to a letter written by Solon Borland to the governor of North Carolina, it was but a small hamlet of approximately 175 people, with only three stores, one saddler, one carriage maker, two hotels, two attorneys and two physicians in the town. The town was the boyhood home of Confederate Major General William Mahone, whose father, Fielding Mahone, ran a tavern. General George H.

    Does Anybody Know Anything About Southampton High School In Courtland Virginia?

    Answer:
    Actually, I do. I'm a student there. It's a very small school in a rural area. Google will give you some quick stats. Discipline is high, very high. We don't really have a lot of money. Our football team pretty much gets everything. Our teachers, well most of them are okay. The students, now they are something else. I'm not really a people person, but if you aren't in their social group or w/e, some kids don't want a thing to do with you. Our library is amazing. Hmm, what else would you like to know? Feel free to email you, I'm kinda curious as to why some one would want to know about our school. It's in the middle of no where, so I didn't expect to ever see something like this.
