The Boydton Historic District includes a total of 215 contributing resources and 146 non -contributing resources within a large part of the incorporated area of the county seat of Mecklenburg County, Virginia. Two properties in the district, the Boyd Tavern and the Mecklenburg County Courthouse are already listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The district consists of the Courthouse Square, the commercial blocks from the late 1 91h and the early 20Ih centuries on Bank and Washington Streets, as well as surrounding residential areas with dwellings ranging from the late 18Ih century to 1950. Several churches of various denominations from the 19th century survive in excellent condition. A handful of dwellings and the courthouse predate the Civil War, while the expansive Boyd Tavern dates to the 18th century. Much of the historic commercial district was built in the first half of the 20Ih century due to a fire in 1907.
