Yancey Mills is an unincorporated community in Albemarle County, Virginia.[1] Today Yancey Mills is the site of the intersection of U.S. Route 250 and Interstate 64, the location of Western Albemarle High School, Henley Middle School, Brownsville Elementary School, and a pair of gas stations.
It is named for Charles Yancey, a businessman who ran a tavern, store, mill, and distillery in the area, which became known as Yancey's Mill. A post office was established there, though was eventually moved to nearby Hillsboro.[2] The mill still stands, under the name of R.A. Yancey Lumber Corporation.[3]
The Miller School of Albemarle was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[4]
