Keysville, the county’s largest town, sits entirely inside Charlotte County; it is not
\nsplit with neighboring Lunenburg County despite lying close to the line. There is also a
\nHarrisburg, Pennsylvania and dozens of other Harrisburgs nationwide — this one is a small
\nrural crossroads community, unrelated to any of them.<\/p>\n
