Spring Hill, Virginia
Unincorporated community in Virginia, United States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spring Hill is an unincorporated community in Augusta County, Virginia, United States.[1]
The earliest inhabitant was the Irish sea captain James Patton, whose first home was a log cabin he built in 1741 at Spring Hill, on what is still known as the Patton Farm Road.[2][3]: 17–18 On 25 October 1746, On 15 January 1754, Patton signed a contract with two Augusta County carpenters to construct a new home for him at Spring Hill: "a solidly-made a one-room log house, twenty feet square, to include...a wooden floor, high ceiling, and spacious loft."[4]: 127 [5]: 8
In 1882, Spring Hill was a thriving village with several stores and two churches.[6] It, like other communities in Augusta County, flourished into the early 1900s. Today, all that is left is a Presbyterian church, some houses, and a few abandoned storefronts.[citation needed] It is part of the Staunton–Waynesboro Micropolitan Statistical Area.[citation needed]
