Cumberland Farms was and is located on a meander loop of the Pamunkey River due north of the Court House. It has occupation dating from at least Middle Archaic through the present, including a very large Woodland component. It was almost the State Capital, was chartered as a town, had a massive number of USA troops camped over it during the Peninsula Campaign, has a large plantation house on a terrace overlooking the loop, and is now partially used as a hospital. The Department of Historic Resources sponsored some form of investigation of the Town of Cumberland in the late 1970's but nothing was apparently written up as I can find no reference in their database.
