The word Quantico is a corruption of Pamacocack, the name of a Doeg tribe village meaning “by the long stream” as recorded by English colonists in 1608. The Manahoac branch of the tidewater Algonquin Indians inhabited the area north of Quantico in the 1500’s. They grew corn and fished.
Around 1690, a mill was built at the mouth of Quantico Creek. Scottish settlers traded in Virginia tobacco, which became a monoculture in the 17th and 18th century. They depended upon slaves. There was also a small iron industry. In 1774 Fredericksburg, south of Quantico, protested British taxation. Quantico served as main naval base for the Commonwealth of Virginia's fleet in the ensuing Revolutionary War. This and a silting harbor disrupted tobacco trade. Richard Henry Lee was a member of the Continental Congress.
