Aquia Creek
Aquia Creek is a 27.6-mile-long tributary of the tidal segment of the Potomac River and is located in Northern Virginia. The creek's headwaters lie in southeastern Fauquier County, and it empties into the Potomac at Brent Point in Stafford County, 45 miles south of Washington, D.C. The White House was built largely using sandstone quarried from Aquia Creek from 1792 to 1799.
