Roanoke County is located in the southwestern region of the great state of Virginia. It was established in 1838 with the passing of Virginia's General Assembly and was named after the Roanoke River which runs through the county. The area was originally part of Botetourt and Montgomery counties, but over time, it evolved to become its own separate entity.

Initially, the area was home to various Native American tribes, such as the Cherokee and Shawnee. European settlers, primarily of English, German, and Scotch-Irish descent, began to arrive in the 1740s. These settlers were attracted to the fertile land and abundant resources in the region.

The Virginia Western Railway and Norfolk and Western Railway played major roles in the development of Roanoke County. These rail lines, which were later combined to form the Norfolk Southern Corporation, helped spur economic growth by connecting the area to other parts of the country. Industries such as agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and logging thrived due to the improved access to markets and resources.

Today, Roanoke County is known for its beautiful landscapes and outdoor recreational activities, including hiking, biking, and fishing. Roanoke's economy has diversified over time, with sectors such as healthcare, education, and technology playing a significant role in the county's growth.

Fun fact: The area is home to the famous Natural Bridge, a geological formation that is considered one of the seven natural wonders of the world. The Natural Bridge stands 215 feet high and spans over 90 feet. According to legend, a young George Washington once surveyed and carved his initials at the site.
