Pamplin City is a town in Appomattox and Prince Edward counties in the U.S. state of Virginia. The population was 219 at the 2010 census.
The Appomattox County portion of Pamplin City is part of the Lynchburg Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Pamplin is the home of a Clay Pipe Factory, formerly the largest clay pipe factory in the United States. It is located to the side of Business 460. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1980. The Buffalo Presbyterian Church was listed on the NRHP in 1995.
The town has recently undergone a revitalization process. The Appomattox County library has established an annex at the former Pamplin City Train Depot used by the Norfolk Southern Railroad. [this library annex is now closed - at least 2015] This renovated train depot serves as a library and meeting place for the town; it is a center for holidays and other gatherings on special occasions.
The new High Bridge Trail State Park, based in Farmville, Virginia, is steadily expanding towards Pamplin.
