African Americans, both free and enslaved, were
vital in the development of the Fredericksburg
area. Slaves worked on plantations, on the docks,
in iron industries, mining and quarries,
mercantile businesses, construction, domestic
services, and others were skilled blacksmiths,
cobblers, and draymen.

Rappahannock River, has long been a
crossroads for trade and a seat of political and

Westmoreland, Stafford, and Spotsylvania
have been important from Colonial times to
the present as some of the fastest-growing
counties in the U.S.
