Merrimac (Merrimac)
Merrimac is a census-designated place (CDP) in Montgomery County, Virginia, United States. The population was 2,133 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Blacksburg–Christiansburg Metropolitan Statistical Area which encompasses all of Montgomery County and the city of Radford.
According to one source, Merrimac was so named because coal from area mines was used on CSS Virginia (formerly USS Merrimack (1855)). A post office called Merrimac Mines operated from 1904 until 1935.
The Linkous-Kipps House and Montgomery Primitive Baptist Church are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
