McKenney, Virginia
McKenney is an incorporated town in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, United States. As of the 2020 census, McKenney had a population of 457.
McKenney is located along a former railroad mainline. The Richmond, Petersburg and Carolina Railroad, passing through McKenney from Petersburg, Virginia to Ridgeway Junction (today Norlina, North Carolina), was completed in 1900, at which point it was merged into the Seaboard Air Line (SAL). By 1914, the population of McKenney was estimated by the railroad to be about 300.
This line (dubbed the "S-line" after later mergers) continued to operate until the 1980s and was then abandoned by the CSX Norlina Subdivision. Today McKenney is isolated by this abandonment.
Montrose, the Sappony Church, and Zehmer Farm are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Near McKenney is a historical marker, erected by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Historic Resources in 1986, honoring the achievements of educator Sallie Jones Atkinson.
