[quote=Anonymous]This is what is on the Island Creek HOA website:

Our name is historically accurate and dates back to at least 1694.
When Carr Properties purchased the land, we now call home, they contacted the Lee District Office and asked them to research their files to see if there was any historic reference to this property. Surprisingly the District Office had some background information and wrote the following to the President of Carr Properties (John Cowles):

“I think we have a real winner with Island Creek and we’re delighted that no one else went back as far as 1678 to find it. The name has been verified as historically correct… It is always nice to get an appropriate name that has a tangible link with the history of the site.”

The tract of land that Island Creek is built on was part of the Hunter Tract; 1000 acres of land granted to John Thomas before 1678 and was one of the first Royal Patents in Fairfax County.

The land grant was adjacent to the Long Branch creek and the whole general area was referred to as Island Creek in 1694 possibly due to its location within the Accotink, Dogue and Long Branch creeks. Daniel McCarty purchased the site of the tract in the early 18th century.

That's a whole lotta blah blah blah that a 2nd grader will have no understanding of at all.  Smart move, Tamera!
