Pimmit Run

Pimmit Run forms south of Leesburg Pike (State Route 7), in Idylwood, Virginia, near George C. Marshall High School.

Originally, the part of the run south of Leesburg Pike flowed above ground as well, but development gradually forced it underground.

The portion of the stream that borders Pimmit Hills was widened and lined with concrete in the early 1970s to prevent flooding.

At Westmont, the stream is joined by Little Pimmit Run before paralleling the George Washington Memorial Parkway and flowing southeast into Arlington.

He died by drowning in February 1688, on the Potomac River, near the mouth of the stream which was named after him.
