Mother of Counties
Lunenburg lies within the rolling terrain of the Piedmont (Southside) area of and is frequently referred to as the “Mother of Counties”. After being formed in 1746, Lunenburg went on to provide territory for the formation of nine other counties and hence, the title, “Mother of Counties.” Lunenburg is also historically known as “The Old Free State of Lunenburg,” a title from the beginning of the Civil War.
The abundance of red clay was beneficial for building, resulting in the historic courthouse and many of its pre-war homes and chimneys being constructed of hand-kilned bricks from native soil.
