Lunenburg County, Administrative county in Virginia, US
Lunenburg County spans 432 square miles of terrain in Virginia, featuring a mix of residential areas and open spaces with a population density of 28 persons per square mile.
The county was established in 1746 from Brunswick County and received its name from the Duchy of Brunswick-Lünenburg in Germany, reflecting connections to British monarchy.
The county earned the designation of 'The Old Free State' during the Civil War period when it considered separating if Virginia did not align with the Confederacy.
