History

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 estimate by the railroad to be somewhere around 300. The line (dubbed the “S-line” after later mergers) continued to operate until the 1980s, and today McKenney is along the abandoned portion of the CSX Norlina Subdivision.

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.
