== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Appomattox County is powerfully Republican in most elections.
* The county is historically associated with the surrender of Robert E. Lee at Appomattox Court House, which effectively ended the Civil War.
** Though President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, slaves in the southern states were not freed until the surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9. Though the last of the slaves weren't freed until June 19, the surrender at Appomattox is the event that would hammer the final nail in slavery's coffin. Today, each April, the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park commemorates this event with a luminary ceremony, wherein a lantern is lit for each of the 4,600 slaves freed in Appomattox County alone.
* Pamplin is the home of a Clay Pipe Factory, formerly the largest clay pipe factory in the United States. It is located to the side of US Route 460 Business. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1980.
* The 2010 Appomattox shootings occurred from January 17 to 20 and left eight people dead.
* The Appomattox Court House National Historical Park preserves the site of the Civil War's last battle, where Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.
* Appomattox has a little bit of amenities to offer, but not much. It has dollar stores, a landing strip, Kroger, Walmart, a little bit of public battle fields, a sports complex, a little bit of local restaurants and businesses, CVS, Tractor Supply Co., a little bit of fast food, an ABC store, a few hotels/motels, a few auto parts places and car dealerships, Pino's Pizza & Italian, Granny Bee's, The Babcock House, The American Civil War Museum, Falling River Country Club, and not much else.
