History of Wythe Creek Farms
History of Wythe Creek Farms
Development of Wythe Creek Farms began in the late 1980s when local Adevelopers Robert J. Fiscella and Benjamin J. Fiscella consolidated approximately 104 acres of land.
The property was later purchased by Virginia Enterprises, Inc., owned by George E. Fiscella, on January 6, 1994. York County approved the subdivision plans on May 31, 1995, and construction proceeded in four phases through 2003.
The first Wythe Creek Farms Homeowners Association Board of Directors meeting was held on March 17, 1998, and the community’s first newsletter was published later that year.
Today, Wythe Creek Farms is a well-established neighborhood known for its active community and well-maintained common areas.
Diary of Mary Octavia Tabb, later published as Love and Loss (2009)
The Story of Tabb
The Story of Tabb
The highly sought-after area of Tabb is known for its excellent schools, strong community, and small-town charm—but fewer people know the story behind its name.
That story begins with Mary Octavia Smith, born in 1845. After marrying Alexander Tabb in 1871, she was widowed at a young age and left to raise three children on her own. Determined to provide for her family, she successfully petitioned the federal government to establish a post office in her community of Smithville.
In 1893, she became the first female postmaster in the state of Virginia, serving until 1910. Nearly three decades before women’s suffrage, this was a remarkable achievement. She operated the post office from her home, serving residents through a front porch window.
Over time, the area once known as “Smithville” became known as “Tabb,” in recognition of her impact and legacy.
Her story is further preserved through a diary she kept from 1863 to 1868, capturing daily life in southeastern Virginia from ages 18 to 23 during and after the Civil War. The journal was later published in 2009 as Love and Loss, offering a personal glimpse into the experiences that shaped her life.
