The creek served as the eastern border of Rappahannock Tribe lands. In the 1650s, when colonists began settling along the river, the Rappahannock withdrew from the southern bank;[1] their weroance Accopatough deeded the land east of Totuskey Creek[2] to settlers just before he died in April 1651. His successor Taweeren confirmed the deed in May.
In 1730, a tobacco inspection site was located here. According to the Tobacco Inspection Act the inspection was "At Naylor's Hole, upon William Fantleroy's land, where his prise houses now are; and the mouth of Totaskey, at Newman Brokenborough's landing, in Richmond County; both under one inspection."
On September 6, 1778, Baptist minister Lewis Lunsford[3] baptised Robert Carter III in the waters of this creek.[4]
