Mecklenburg County

The wife of George III was Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, in modern-day Germany.

Chase City was named for Salmon P. Chase... a Yankee abolitionist. After the Civil War, nearly 300 Ohions (many of them Presbyterians of German descent) migrated to Southside Virginia and formed the town. Despite the name of Chase City, the community is a town that was chartered by the state in 1873.
