Could you please add a standardized place name for the locale of Carters Bridge, Albemarle County, V
I don't know how long it has existed, so I don't know if it needs to be British Colonial America, as well as USA, or not. The people I'm researching only go back to 1815, so far.
I just learned the definition of a locale: Place at which there is or was human activity; it does not include populated places, mines, and dams (battlefield, crossroad, camp, farm, ghost town, landing, railroad siding, ranch, ruins, site, station, windmill).
Here are a couple of websites to show you where it is and give you the lat/long.

Thank you so much!

It has been described as a locale, a location, and as a neighborhood in different references. It's the area near a bridge of the same name, with a history going back to the 1700's
