It was named after the young Queen of George III, Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg. Settlement of the area began about 50 years before the county was formed. Charlotte County was the second governing body in the 13 colonies to declare its independence from England.
  
As the American revolutionary spirit unfolded, people of newly acquired wealth and influence played important roles in the formation of the government. Its militia units helped to halt the advance of Cornwallis in 1781 and to hasten the end of the American Revolution.
  
In late spring 1864, Union General Ulysses S. Grant's overland campaign ground to a halt outside Petersburg and Richmond as he was defended by General Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia.
  
The area’s rich heritage of old homes is architecturally significant as it reflects styles from the Colonial and Georgian to the Federal and Greek Revival periods. Many of these stately mansions are listed with the Virginia and National Registers of Historic Places and have been restored to their original beauty.
