Mannboro is a rural unincorporated community in eastern Amelia County in the U.S. state of Virginia. It is located along SR 612 (Richmond Road) at its split and curve junctions with SR 708 (Namozine Road).
Early spellings of the name included "Mannborough" and "Mannsborough"; in 1829 a post office was established under the name "Mannsboro",[1] one of the first in Amelia County. The present-day Mannboro post office (ZIP code 23105), however, now serves only the immediate vicinity; surrounding areas are assigned to the post office at Amelia Court House (ZIP code 23002), approximately 14 miles (23 km) northwest. Amelia County Volunteer Fire Department Station 2 is also located within community limits.
