Magruder, Virginia

Magruder was a small town in Virginia near Williamsburg in York County which is now extinct. During World War II, the U.S. Navy took over a large area in the north western portion of York County which became known as Camp Peary. All residents of the entire towns of Magruder and Bigler's Mill were removed. Magruder had been named for American Civil War Confederate General John B. Magruder, and a civil war field hospital had occupied the site of Bigler's Mill adjacent to the York River, which was previously known as Rippon Hall . Camp Peary later became well-known as "The Farm," a training facility for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Although the roads and structures are still there and occupied, access to the base is still restricted.
