== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Buckingham County is a swing area in most elections.
* The Buckingham County Electric Mills are located near Dillwyn.
* In 2011, the county celebrated its 250th anniversary.
* The geographic center of Virginia is located in Buckingham County, near Mount Rush.
* In the 21st century, large tracts of land are held by companies such as WestVaco, which sell pulpwood and other timber products to the paper mills and wood product producers. It is still largely rural, with areas devoted to recreation such as fishing and hunting. The county is home to families who can trace their ancestry to the early colonial history of Virginia. Many families still live on tracts of land that were granted to their ancestors in that period. Some of the land grants were originally given to French Huguenots, who resettled from London, England in the southwestern part of the county in the early 1700s.
