The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The eastern side of the peninsula was long occupied by low-density single-family homes, while the western side remained more industrial. This changed with the construction of Southbridge on the Potomac, a master-planned community of approximately 1,500 homes on 600 acres of land in southwestern Cherry Hill, founded in 1990 and built largely from the mid-1990s until the mid-2000s; River Oaks, a community consisting of 1,122 homes was built during the same time period just to the north of Southbridge on the Potomac.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Cherry Hill has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Old Hotel in Dumfries, 2 miles away.
