County History
On May 25, 1749, the Virginia General Assembly passed the act that separated Chesterfield
from Henrico County and created the new county. The first county seat was established at Manchester, across the
James River at the fall line from Richmond (which remained in Henrico County.)
Chesterfield County is named for the former British Secretary of State, Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield.
Lord Chesterfield was famous for his "good manners and writings." One of his most frequently used saying
is about rudeness; An injury is much sooner forgotten than an insult. Many years later, Chesterfield Cigarettes
were named after this county due to the region's historical cultivation of tobacco.
