About Occoquan, VA
Occoquan is a picturesque, river-side town in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Its name comes from a Dogue Indian word meaning "at the end of water." Residents come home to the water's edge after commuting to the many job opportunities available in the nearby nation's capital or closer to home in more than 100 businesses and restaurants catering to visitors. Students attend the well-regarded schools of Prince William County. The downtown district offers home décor from Shaker furniture to Oriental rugs, fashion from bridal to jewelry, and a host of unique shops. The well-attended annual Occoquan Craft Fair adds another shopping dimension, featuring harvest-related and general arts and crafts. Other attractions are the historical walking tour and the town museum, housed in a miller's office that once oversaw the nation's first automated grist mill. The town's history goes back all the way to 1608 when Captain John Smith visited the area to meet with the Dogue Indians.
