Ewell's Corps, the left wing of Lee's Army, moving down this road from Orange, came into conflict near here with Warren's Corps of Grant's Army on May 5, 1864. The fight moved to and fro until Ewell finally drove Warren back and entrenched here. Late the next afternoon, on May 6, Ewell attacked the Union forces, while two miles south on the Orange Plank Road the right wing of Lee's Army was engaged with Grant's left wing.
