About Flat Rock
Flat Rock is an unincorporated community in Powhatan County. It was a stop on the Farmville and Powhatan Railroad from 1884 to 1905 and then on the Tidewater and Western Railroad from 1905 to 1917 (per Wikipedia, read September 25, 2026). Today Flat Rock is pure rural Powhatan: farms, woodlots, and scattered homes along U.S. Route 60 west of the courthouse village. It appeals to buyers seeking acreage, equestrian property, and maximum quiet within a commutable distance of Richmond.
