==History==
The early settlement of Headsville began in the mid-18th century as settlers began to survey and patent land along the Patterson Creek. The village is located at the northern end of Patterson Creek Manor, a 9,000 acre land tract surveyed for Lord Fairfax in 1747.〔(【引用サイトリンク】first1=Charles )〕 George Washington ordered the construction of Fort Cocke by Captain William Cocke in 1775 on a site along Patterson Creek just south of Headsville. The small palisade fort was abandoned during the French and Indian War. Early names for the community included "Sheetz's Mill."
The Headsville United Methodist Church began worshiping in the mid-19th century on the Parker Farm. In 1856, James Carskadon, Rev. Isaac H. Carskadon, and Henry Head oversaw the construction of a frame church on a small knoll overlooking Patterson Creek at the site of the Parker Family burial ground. The church is still in use and remains a well-preserved example of ante-bellum, rural church buildings.
