Clog Heroes, Your Massaponax, VA Plumber, Where the Corn Grew as Tall as a Man
Plumbing, drain and sewer help in Massaponax, Spotsylvania County, comes from Clog Heroes. Massaponax takes its name from a Native American village that once stood here. The name is recorded as meaning 'corn as tall as man.'
The houses are a lot newer than the name. In the census tract around the heart of Massaponax, the median home was built in 2012, and 604 of its 722 homes are single-family detached.
New house or old, the technician's price is written down and approved by you before any work starts.
Grant's War Council at Massaponax Baptist Church
Massaponax Baptist Church is a Greek Revival brick church built in 1859 for a congregation founded back in 1788. On May 21, 1864, Ulysses S. Grant held a war council in its yard.
Virginia added it to the Landmarks Register on February 20, 1990, and the National Register of Historic Places followed on January 24, 1991.
You can trace that history by car. The county's Lee vs. Grant Civil War Trails route follows Massaponax Church Road from Courthouse Road to Jefferson Davis Highway, Route 1.
Loriella Park and Artillery Ridge
Loriella Park on Leavells Road is a 208-acre county district park, and 147 of those acres are left passive, for walking and looking around.
Artillery Ridge is part of Massaponax too. Its streets include Artillery Ridge Road and Battery Lane, in the same section of the county street list, and the neighbourhood sits about 2 miles northwest of Lee Hill Park.
Homes there have a few more years on them. The Artillery Ridge census tract has a median build year of 1977, with 1,477 single-family detached houses and 585 attached homes.
Sand, Gravel and the Massaponax Creek Basin
Massaponax Creek runs through sand and gravel deposits of the Potomac Formation, the county's natural resources appendix says.
That creek also names a sewer basin. The Massaponax Wastewater Treatment Plant was built in 1975 to serve it and has since grown to 9.4 million gallons a day. Live in the Massaponax Creek basin? That's where your drain water ends up.
