About Wakefield, VA

Wakefield, one of several stops along the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad in pre-civil war Virginia, is thought to have been named by William Mahone(1826-1895), then president of the N&P, and his wife Otelia Butler Mahone as they traveled the newly completed railroad in 1858. According to local lore, the name came from the Sir Walter Scott novel Ivanhoe , which Mrs. Mahone was reading at the time. The towns of Windsor and Waverly are said to have received their names the same way. As of the 2010 United States Census, there were 927 people living in the city.
