Nearby Bel Air Plantation, built about 1740, is the burial site of Parson Mason Locke Weems, the first biographer of George Washington. French and American troops passed through this community on their way to Yorktown in 1781. In the early 19th century, northern dairymen developed large farms here. The Confederate 3d Brigade was in this area in 1861–62, and the Minnieville Post Office stood on this corner from 1884 to 1924.
