Germans Corner, Virginia
Germans Corner is an unincorporated community in Richmond County, in the U.S. state of Virginia.
This locality can be found about 1.5 miles north of Naylors Beach, at the junction of Virginia State Route 636 and Virginia State Route 624. It is named from Wilber L. Jerman, who built a large dwelling at the location in 1923, and lived there until 1946. Jerman's wife Cleva May was deeded 50 acres extending from the south and west of the corner from her father in 1920. Over time the original "Jerman's Corner" has come to be misspelled and known as "Germans Corner."[1]
