About five miles southwest is Dunkard Bottom, where Dr. Walker found a settlement in 1750. The fort there was built about 1756 and was the first fort in Virginia west of New River. The first store and first mill were also there. Error: Note that the first sentence of the marker is incorrect, and should read: About five miles southwest is Dunkard Bottom, where Dr. Walker founded a settlement in 1750.
