Located on the former land originally owned by the immigrant John Washington (1631-1677). Subsequent generations lived there. The Mattox Plantation encompassed land on both sides of Rte. 205, which crosses Mattox Creek.

A year or two after his arrival in Virginia, John Washington (1631-1677), lived at Mattox Creek in 1657, married Anne Pope and in 1659, was given land on Mattox Creek by his father-in-law, Col. Nathaniel Pope. He then moved and set up a home at Bridges Creek in 1664, located within the limits of the George Washington Birthplace National Monument and family cemetery.
