Military
Waller Hill was named in honor of Major General Littleton Waller Tazewell Waller, who commanded the Marine Battalion on Samar, Philippines, in 1901. The site originally held one of the Evansport Batteries, which successfully blockaded the Potomac River during the Civil War. A resort lodge built here in 1871 later became a school and eventually Waller Hall, the Quantico Officers’ Club, which served officers of the Corps for more than forty years before it was razed in 1970.
