About Matoaca, VA

Olive Hill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The Appomattox River is a nearly 160-mile-long water source once used as a pathway for early colonists as well as a crucial port in Virginia during the Civil War. Its name is derived from the Indian tribe that once inhabited its banks. Because the Appomattox runs into the James River, it allowed for larger ships to dock when necessary. In continuation with the history of the river, it is widely known for the Appomattox Campaign.
