Description: Part of the site of the Falling Creek Ironworks, located along Falling Creek just south of the Richmond city limits in Chesterfield County, Virginia, United States. Established in 1619, the ironworks were the first industrial facility in what is now the United States, but they only functioned for three years before their destruction in the Indian massacre of 1622. The site is now an important archaeological site and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
