Lunenburg was formed in 1745 from the western portion of Brunswick County. It named reflected one of the titles of King George II, who was also the Duke of Brunswick-Lunenburg in the German states. In 1753 Halifax County was created from the southwestern part of Lunenburg, and the following year, 1753, Bedford County was established from the northwestern portion. Another addition from Lunenburg to Bedford came in 1754, when land west of the mouth of Falling River was given to the latter. In 1764 both Charlotte and Mecklenburg counties were created from Lunenburg land, and in 1777 a part of Charlotte's holdings were returned to Lunenburg. Lunenburg County achieved its present boundaries at that time.
