Welcome to South Hill, Virginia! Established in 1901, South Hill is an awesome place to live, work, and visit. South Hill is located between two major cities --- approximately 65 miles south of Richmond, Virginia and 75 miles north of Raleigh, North Carolina. You’re only an hour and a half drive from the beautiful beaches of Virginia to the east or the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west. The natural beauty of our countryside and two fantastic lakes offers a vista for our residents and visitors to enjoy, while taking in the many unique stores, restaurants, and recreational sites the area has to offer. South Hill is best known for its family-friendly, safe communities, reasonable cost of living, moderate climate, and abundance of leisure activities. We are proud to be the home of numerous thriving industries located in three of our strategically placed industrial parks, the historical Colonial Theater, and in 2017 our brand new, state-of-the-art, VCU Community Memorial Hospital.
