Cherry Hill (Cherry Hill)
Cherry Hill is a census-designated place (CDP) in Prince William County, Virginia, United States. The population was 16,000 according to the 2010 Census. As of the 2020 census, it was estimated to be 23,683. The CDP is made up of the Cherry Hill peninsula, to the northeast of the town of Dumfries.
The eastern side of the peninsula was long occupied by low-density single-family homes, while the western side remained more industrial. This changed with the construction of Southbridge on the Potomac, a master-planned community of approximately 1,500 homes on 600 acres of land in southwestern Cherry Hill, founded in 1990 and built largely from the mid-1990s until the mid-2000s; River Oaks, a community consisting of 1,122 homes was built during the same time period just to the north of Southbridge on the Potomac.
The smaller community of Eagle Pointe was built in the late 2000s in western Cherry Hill, in between U.S. Route 1 and Interstate 95, as were Port Potomac and the single-family house section of Powells Landing, located just across U.S. Route 1 from Eagle Pointe. The townhouse section of Powell's Landing was built in the mid-2010s.
Potomac Shores is a large community of both single-family homes and townhomes under construction by Beazer Homes USA, Drees Homes, PulteGroup, NVR, Inc., and Stanley Martin Homes on the previously low-density eastern side of the peninsula.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They quarreled with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, leading to the American Revolution and proceeding Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first nation-state founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and liberal democracy. The country began expanding across North America, spanning the continent by 1848. Sectional division surrounding slavery in the Southern United States led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by the Thirteenth Amendment.
