Northumberland County
Northumberland County is the “Mother County of the Northern Neck.” Located between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers and bordered on the east by the Chesapeake Bay, the county is known for its picturesque beaches, forests, wildlife, scenic byways and a quaint charm that has lured many urbanites. So much so, that in recent years, Northumberland’s population has been changing from that of full-time residents to one of many weekenders, vacationers and retirees.
