Independent Hill, Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Independent Hill is an unincorporated town in Prince William County, Virginia. It is located along Virginia State Route 234 at the intersection with Joplin Road. The only visible remaining businesses seem to be a gas station and Crosby's Crab Company. In early 2006, a realignment of 234 bypassed the town, leaving it on a side road.
Along with the two businesses listed above, Independent Hill is also the home of the Prince William County School Board Complex. The administrative, support, and maintenance personnel of the school system report there.
The Greenwood gold mine operated nearby sometime between 1820 and 1910 (dates uncertain).
