Dumfries History

The Town of Dumfries is steeped in history, and the community still celebrates the rich heritage and traditions the town was originally founded on. The area was once a major port on the East Coast and is the oldest continuously chartered town within the state. Its history dates back to 1690 when Richard Gibson built a gristmill on Quantico Creek. A warehouse and customhouse soon followed in 1731. By 1732, a number of other warehouses cropped up along the estuary.

The Town of Dumfries was originally established at the head of the Quantico Creek harbor on 60 acres of land provided by John Graham. The town was named after the place where Graham was born in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. Dumfries was established on May 11, 1749, as the first of seven of the county's chartered townships. After being established as colonial America's second leading port that received tobacco from upland, Dumfries soon rivaled Philadelphia, New York and Boston. It reached its peak in 1763 and was a thriving port for 15 years. However, the Revolutionary War, siltation and erosion, and a shift from tobacco as the main shipping commodity to sugar and wheat led to the demise of the port.

For a brief time, from 1950 to 1960, Dumfries and Triangle were combined to form Dumfries-Triangle. In 1960, the two areas were once again separated. Today, Dumfries real estate covers 1.63 square miles of land and is home to more than 5,000 residents. It is governed by an elected town council that consists of a mayor and six members.

Some of the areas of interest around houses for sale in Dumfries, VA, include the local cemetery, where you will find some of the pioneers of Dumfries buried.

Also listed on the National Register of Historic Places are the Weems-Botts Museum, Old Hotel and the Leesylvania Archeological Site.

Sitting on 135 acres and just across from the Quantico Marine Corps, the museum is a tribute to all past, present and future U.S. Marines. It is run under a public and private partnership between the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation and the U.S. Marine Corps. The heritage foundation was established as a non-profit organization in 1979.

As construction continues, new galleries will be added to the existing ones, which includes the Legacy Walk, which was created for those who are limited on visiting time. It takes you through all of the era galleries and more than two centuries of Marine Corps history. The Making Marines exhibit shows you how a citizen is turned into a Marine during their 12 weeks of boot camp. You can also see the American Revolution, Global Expeditionary Force, World War I, World War II, Korean War and Vietnam galleries.

Quantico National Cemetery

Once part of the training base of the U.S. Marine Corps, the land that is now Quantico National Cemetery has been in military use for over 200 years. It was first used in 1775 for Navy operations, as well as used during the Civil War by the Confederate army as a point of a blockade. It was established as a national cemetery in 1983 for the burial of veterans who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

The cemetery is home to seven monuments: Edson’s Raiders, Purple Heart Memorial, the Fourth Marine “Fighting Fourth” Division Memorial, Commonwealth of Virginia Memorial dedicated to honor all the nation’s veterans, First Marine Division Memorial, and the 6th Marine “Striking Sixth” Division Memorial.

Weems-Botts Museum

The museum was the home of Mason Locke Weems, who wrote the first biography of George Washington, which included the “I cannot tell a lie” cherry tree story. Along with the landmark home, the small museum has an annex that is home to the Lee Lansing Research Library and Archive, both of which are located in Merchant Park. There is a commemorative bandstand to one of the county's most respected citizens, William Grayson, who was also one of the first senators of Virginia.
