We've never stopped in Port Royal except to get gas and go to the bathroom. It is a very small town in Caroline CountyThe estimated population, in 2003, was only 170. But it does have a Historic District which is roughly bounded by Rappahannock River, Roys Run, Rt. 17, and Goldenville Creek.

It is primarily known as the place where John Wilkes Booth was captured and died, after assassinating President Abraham Lincoln

On a more prosaic level, Port Royal is in the Richmond metro area in the Eastern Standard time zone. The latitude of Port Royal is 38.171N. The longitude is -77.191W.
