Centralia is an unincorporated community located in Chesterfield County, Virginia.

A historical marker was erected in 2014 by The Department of Historic Resources which says: "In 1867, the African American members of nearby Salem Baptist Church separated and founded Salem African Baptist Church.

The new congregation held worship services under a brush arbor before constructing a building here on a one-acre tract deeded in 1869 by members of the mother church.

Razed by fire in 1996, this structure was rebuilt to original specifications in 1997, In 1963, the growing congregation moved two miles east.
