The name was derived from the fact that ducks flocked here in the summer.[1] Sumerduck is home to the major portion of the C.F. Phelps Wildlife Management Area, with several entrances to the reserve off of the major thoroughfare, VA Route 651.[2] The community is also home to Cider Lab (a small batch, craft cidery),[3] Rogers Ford Farm Winery and Smith's Antiques.[4][5]
The Sumerduck Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.[6]
