As an important river crossing between Alexandria and Fredericksburg, this settlement was busy and sometimes dangerous during the war. Confederate calvary raided Occoquan in December 1862. Union Gen. Joseph Hooker’s Army constructed a 300-foot-long pontoon bridge here as he followed Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee north towards Gettysburg in 1863.
