But hereâs the issue: There is disagreement over whom or what the name pays tribute to.
âMagruderâ comes from the name of a Civil War Confederate general, John Bankhead Magruder. His connection to York County history? He defended the area against the Union Armyâs Peninsula Campaign.
Magruder became such a revered legend in the county a community was named after him. The community of Magruder, an informal hamlet of nearly 200 families, was settled mostly by African Americans after the Civil War.
It was a place where families could live a little freer in a time of Jim Crow Laws, according to past coverage by WYDaily.

What is it like getting a COVID-19 vaccine in the Historic Triangle? Well for some, it’s easier said than done.
For others, complete luck.
According to the Virginia Department of Health, the state is receiving weekly shipments of both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines and is using those doses to vaccinate people in Phases 1a and 1b.
The Peninsula Health District opened up three clinics to serve certain localities along the peninsula. According to their website, the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor Center is meant to serve James City County and the City of Williamsburg, while York County residents are being served at the Hampton Roads Convention Center.
