Petersburg, originally settled in 1745 as Lunice Creek, was renamed likely in honor of merchant Jacob Peters. Through the Civil War, it was part of Hardy County. In 1870, Petersburg became the seat of government of the new county of Grant and was briefly called Grant Court House before returning to the name Petersburg. In 1830, the population center of the United States was located just nine miles west of here.
