Carsley is located at the intersection of VA State Routes 615 (Carsley Road) 40 and 612 (Otterdam Road) north of Waverly and Dendron. The land comprising the community is named for the Carsley's, who owned the land as early as 1812. The Carsley family is the namesake for the area, though the original land grant was given to John Parsons by the King of England on June 5, 1736.
