Aylett is an unincorporated community in King William County, Virginia, United States.[1] It is located where Virginia State Route 360 crosses the Mattaponi River. William Aylett and his family had several prominent warehouses and mills in the area.[2]

Formerly, Todd's Bridge (no longer in existence), or simply Todd's, was north of Aylett. Todd's and Aylett were both mentioned in Tobacco Inspection Act of 1730 legislation as a location for a public tobacco inspection warehouse.

Later, in 1781, Todd's Bridge provided crossing of the Mattaponi as a part of the Washington–Rochambeau Revolutionary Route [3]

Burlington, Holly Hill, Roseville Plantation, and Zoar are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[4]
