Clover Creek is located {{convert|10|mi|km}} south-southeast of Monterey, Virginia on State Route 678.[2] The community is situated in the Bullpasture Valley along the path of the Bullpasture River.[3] Beginning in 1897 with a decision by the United States Board on Geographic Names, the community was officially referred to as the single-word "Clovercreek"; however, in 1970, the board modified the community's name to the current two-word "Clover Creek".[1] During the French and Indian War, a British fort named Fort George[4] was built near Clover Creek in 1754 consisting of a wooden stockade {{convert|90|ft|m}} square. The fort was never directly attacked, though arrows were at one point launched against the fort from a distance leaving no damage. George Washington may have visited the fort while traveling in the area, marking the only time Washington visited the region which is now known as Highland County.[5] The McClung Farm Historic District, which includes the Clover Creek Presbyterian Church, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4] References1. ^1 {{cite gnis|1495400|Clover Creek}} {{Highland County, Virginia}}{{HighlandCountyVA-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Google maps | url = https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Clover+Creek,+McDowell,+Highland,+Virginia+24458&hl=en&ll=38.267892,-79.546499&spn=0.023552,0.052314&sll=38.003385,-79.420925&sspn=6.049632,13.392334&t=w&geocode=Faz0RwId-i1C-w&hnear=Clover+Creek,+McDowell,+Virginia+24458&z=15 | accessdate = 15 December 2012 }} 3. ^{{cite web|title=The National Map|url=http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/?p=default&b=base1&q=38.2701242%09%20-79.5489345&x=-8855380.322887197&y=4617362.091641893&l=15&v=|publisher=United States Geological Survey|accessdate=February 8, 2014}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/Counties/Highland/045-0011_McClung_Farm_Historic_District_1991_Final_Nomination.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: McClung Farm Historic District |author=Charles M.
