land to establish Rustburg as the county seat. Originally inhabited by the
Monacan Indians and visited by explorers as early as 1670, the earliest settlement
in Campbell County was established in about 1736 at Hat Creek by a group of
Scotch-Irish pioneers from Pennsylvania. Other towns in Campbell County are
