Negro Run (Virginia)

Negro Run is a tributary of the York River^[1] in Orange and Louisa counties, Virginia in the United States.^[2]

At least one source doubts the historicity of the legend that the creek, formerly called Negrohead Run, was so named because a black person was beheaded there.^[3]
