De Haven is a small place in northern Frederick County, Virginia. It's called an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city. It doesn't have its own local government.
De Haven was first known as Duck Race. It started as a farming area. It grew up where Back Creek meets another small stream called Babbs Run. This meeting point is called a confluence. You can find De Haven on Green Spring Road (which is also known as VA 671). It's right where Green Spring Road crosses Hodges Lane (VA 741).
