Mount Vernon is undoubtedly one of the most convenient areas in Northern Virginia.  President Washington certainly knew that and Southwood is between his grist mill and his mansion.  He probably rode past Southwood on many occasions and through it as the area was one of his five farms - Union Farm.  Also see MOUNT VERNON FOREST
