About Clifton, VA

Before the arrival of European settlers, the present-day Clifton area was part of the hunting grounds used by Algonquin-speaking members of the Dogue tribe. The Dogue lived in villages and towns along the Potomac River and nearby Occoquan River. They carved bowls out of soapstone found in the area. European settlers composed of Scots merchants created the first nearby port settlement in the mid-1710s near the present-day Dumfries- Triangle area. Land in the Clifton area began to be settled in the early 18th century.
