In the spring of 1789, the first settlement in this section, known as Vancouver’s Fort, was established on the Point 700 feet east of this spot. Charles Vancouver had been granted 15,000 acres on Dec 14, 1788, by Gov. Beverly Randolph of Virginia. He and his men cleared land, built the fort, and planted a crop. A year later they were driven out by the Indians.
