- Tartown
- Unincorporated Populated Place
- The community is now inundated by the reservoir created by Waynesboro Dam (q.v.). The name reportedly originates from many people in that area being Tar Burners, burning Pine Knots into tar for use on Wagon wheels as a lubricant. The variant name Wagamansville was used apparently because of the prominence of that family in the area.
