| Chesterfield County | Back to Richmond Area Map | 
Although English colonists began moving into the area within four years of Jamestown's founding in 1607, Chesterfield was not created as a political unit until 1749. Tthe new county took the name of the celebrated literateur and politician Philip Dormer Stanhope, Fourth Earl of Chesterfield. The seal above was chosen as the County's Seal because Chesterfield was the first place in the nation where coal was mined commercially. Other "firsts" occurred in Chesterfield: Midlothian Turnpike, the first paved road in Virginia, was built in 1807 to carry carts of coal; and in 1831, the first railroad, the Midlothian to Manchester Railroad, was built to haul coal to Virginia's ports. Chesterfield straddles two major topographic regions. Most of the county lies in the Piedmont, a region of gently rolling hills stretching between the Appalachian Mountains and the Atlantic coastal plain.
