Area Information History: Montross is a town in Westmoreland County, Virginia and located in the historic Northern Neck of Virginia, Montross is near the George Washington Birthplace National Monument and Stratford Hall Plantation (birthplace of Robert E. Lee, Richard Henry Lee, and Francis Lightfoot Lee.) The Old Westmoreland Court House in Montross was the site of notable events in 1774–1775 connected with the Revolutionary War. According to an historic marker at the courthouse, a resolution was introduced by Richard Henry Lee and adopted at a meeting there on June 22, 1774, providing aid to Boston, Massachusetts, following a blockade of that beleaguered port city by Great Britain. The seizure in 1775 of the Virginia Colony's gunpowder supply in Williamsburg on orders of the Royal Governor, in what became known as the Gunpowder Incident, prompted the Westmoreland Committee of Safety to convene at the Court House on May 23, 1775. The committee passed a resolution denouncing the governor, Lord Dunmore, for his actions. In 2000, Montross was on television's Late Show with David Letterman. In a segment called, "Biff Henderson's America", comedian Biff Henderson visited the small town's museum, Bargain Shop, Sheriff's Department, the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant, and the Potomac River. Northern Neck Coca-Cola Bottling, Inc. engages in production of soft drinks such as Coca-Cola and Sprite. The company was founded in 1921 and is based in Montross, Virginia. As of January 31, 2014, Northern Neck Coca-Cola Bottling, Inc. operates as a subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company.
