Best Answer

If you are referring to the one that is 45 miles south of Richmond, Virginia, it was named in relation to the abundancy of prickly pear cacti that thrive in it's sandy soil. It's significance lies in the fact that it provides evidence of a pre-Clovis population in North America. If not, please be more specific.
