Independent Hill is an unincorporated town in Prince William County, Virginia, United States. It is located along State Route 234 at the intersection with Joplin Road. There are only a few remaining businesses. In early 2006, a realignment of 234 bypassed the town, leaving it on a side road. The greater Independent Hill area is defined by the Census Bureau as a census-designated place (CDP), with a population of 10,165 as of 2020.[1]
Independent Hill is also the home of the Prince William County School Board Complex. The administrative, support, and maintenance personnel of the school system report there.
The Greenwood Gold Mine operated nearby for a few years before closing in 1885.[2]
