The area that surrounds The Mill at Fine Creek began to flourish as far back as the early 18th century. A gristmill became the foundation for a community to develop, while the nearby James River and railroad both served as local landmarks. The Fine Creek Manor is one of the most important historic elements of this location as it is said to have been built in around 1730 before it was obliterated by a fire almost 200 years later.
