Agnewville lies to the west of the town of Occoquan at the intersection of Minnieville (formerly Davis Ford) and Telegraph Roads. It has also been known as Agnesville 〔The Prince William County Historical Commission (Va.) 2006 p. 52-54〕〔Geographic Names Information System〕 and Chinn Town.〔 Agnewville ran along Minnieville Road from Old Bridge Road to the old Horner Road (near the current Caton Hill Road). Agnewville flourished from 1890 to 1927. ==History== The land that became Agnewville was purchased and settled by freed slaves. The Chinn Family, freed by Henny Fielder Roe after the American Civil War, was given enough money to purchase about 500 acres〔''The Washington Post'', December 14, 1989, Brooke A Masters, "Memorial to a Va. Matriarch", p Va 12〕 of land in 1889.〔 The U.S. Post Office in Agnewville was established in 1891, and was closed in March 1927, with the mail services transferred to the Woodbridge Post Office.〔 The Mount Olive Baptist Church was founded in 1915 on Telegraph Road,〔 with land donated by William Wallace Chinn.〔 Agnewville was located along the main stage road out of Occoquan, Virginia. The decline of Agnewville came with the relocation of the main highway from Telegraph Road to the present day U.S. Route 1 through Woodbridge, Virginia.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Agnewville, Virginia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
