== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Spotsylvania County is solidly Republican in most elections.
* General Stonewall Jackson was shot and mortally wounded by friendly fire in Spotsylvania County during the Battle of Chancellorsville. A group of Confederate soldiers from North Carolina were in the woods and heard General Jackson's party returning from reconnoitering the Union lines. They mistook them for a Federal patrol and fired on them, wounding Jackson in both arms. His left arm was amputated. General Jackson died a few days later from pneumonia at nearby Guinea Station. He and other Confederate wounded were being gathered there for evacuation to hospitals to the south and further away from enemy lines.
* Lake Anna State Park is located in the southwestern part of the county along the Louisa County border.
* Leavells was originally a small agrarian community located at the crossroads of Leavells Road (VA 639) and Courthouse Road (Virginia State Route 208). The community has experienced an explosion in population growth due to its proximity to Interstate 95 and presently consists of numerous middle-class housing developments. Some of these developments include Cambridge, Breckenridge, Leavells Crossing, and Oak Grove. Battlefield Middle School is located in the community along with a Giant food store and a CVS Pharmacy. Recently the roads had lanes added to them, along with sidewalks and trees.
* Thornburg is the location of Dominion Raceway.
