== History ==
During Virginia's colonial period, the Catalpa estate was the seat of Major Philip Clayton.〔 The plantation was named after a catalpa tree that Clayton brought from Essex and transplanted on the property.〔 Clayton's tree was the first catalpa introduced to Culpeper County.〔 Clayton married the sister of Robert Coleman, on whose land the town of Culpeper was established in 1759, originally named "Fairfax" until the American Civil War.〔 Clayton was among the town's first trustees, along with Nathaniel Pendleton, William Green, William Williams, and Thomas Slaughter.〔
The Culpeper Minutemen organized on 17 July 1775 under a large oak tree at "Clayton's old field" on the Catalpa estate.
