Fluvanna garage
If you are driving along FM 612 in Fluvanna and experience car trouble, don't bother with the Fluvanna Garage for assistance -- just call AAA and they should be there in 3 or 4 hours. Established by real estate promoters banking on the railroad, Fluvanna boomed. By 1911 it had two real estate offices, a thirty-room hotel, a lumberyard, a cotton gin, and other businesses with its greatest population of 500 in 1915. Then the railroad closed it station, major highways bypassed the community and today even the post office is shut down. And the name Fluvanna? Named by the surveyor after his home county in Virginia (Fluvanna County, Virginia - population 25,691. The area was once part of the original Virginia Colony and named Fluvanna which means "Anne's River" in honor of Queen Anne of England).
