COUNTY FORMATION

Mecklenburg County was formed in 1765, from the part of Lunenburg County that was St. James Parish. (St. James Parish was formed in 1761 when Cumberland Parish was divided.)

It was named in honor of Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, who became Queen of England on her marriage to King George III.

Boydton is the county seat.
