Bremo Bluff is an unincorporated community located on the northern bank of the James River in Fluvanna County, Virginia, United States.[1] The locale was established by the Cocke family in 1636.[2] During the American Civil War, the family of General Robert E. Lee sought refuge in the community.[3] It is home to Bremo Power Station, which, at one point, generated 3 percent of the total electricity delivered by utility company Dominion Energy.[4]
