Actually the name Chancellorsville is a misnomer. It was actually built by a George Chancellor at the intersection of the Orange Turnpike and Ely's Ford Road and its purpose was a tavern and inn for travellers. It never grew to become a town. It was still owned by members of the Chancellor family at the time of the battle. It is about ten miles from Fredericksburg, Virginia. Source: Chancellorsville, Sears, Steven W. 1997, p.97

Although the battlefield was roughly the same, the Battle of Wilderness Tavern or The Wilderness was fought one year later than that of Chancellorsville, from May 3rd to May 6th, 1864.
At the time of the battle the larger area in which Chancellorsville was located was called "The Wilderness" because it was mostly densely forrested with little open ground.This made movement of troops and the use of artillery,and fighting in general very difficult.
