Little Cacapon River, WV
Tributary
The Little Cacapon River winds quietly through the center of Hampshire County, its 25?mile course shaped by the meeting of its North and South Forks near Frenchburg before flowing north to join the Potomac near the old B&O Railroad crossing. Though shallow and non?navigable for most of its length, it has long anchored settlement patterns in this part of West Virginia, with its valley serving as a travel corridor guarded in colonial times by Fort Cox at its mouth. Early land grants along the river date to the early 1800s, reflecting its role in the region's agricultural development.
