About Blacksburg, Virginia
Blacksburg is a town of 44,826 people in Montgomery County, and it is home to Virginia Tech. In 1772 Samuel Black, whose family had settled in Staunton, bought 600 acres around Draper's Meadow for his sons, John and William. After Samuel died in 1792, the brothers split the land into two halves along the line of today's Draper Road.
In 1797 William Black drew up 16 square blocks of streets and lots on his half, between what are now Clay, Wharton and Jackson streets and Draper Road. He asked the state legislature to make it a town, and Blacksburg was founded on January 13, 1798, on a tract of 38.75 acres. That August 4 he handed the deed to the town trustees, and the town took his name. Blacksburg was incorporated in 1871, with Thomas W. Jones as its first mayor.
- Draper's Meadow, 1755By 1748 the Draper and Ingles families had homes at Draper's Meadow, between today's campus and Hethwood. The French and Indian War reached the outpost in July 1755, when Shawnee warriors armed by France attacked its twenty or so settlers. About four died, and five were taken to Kentucky, Mary Draper Ingles among them; she later escaped. By the war's end nobody lived there. A memorial to the attack stands on a bridge near the Duck Pond.
- Smithfield, about 1774Colonel William Preston built Smithfield Plantation around 1774 on the original Draper's Meadow site, close to where the Duck Pond is now. After a renovation, the house reopened in 1964.
- A college on Solitude farmOn October 2, 1872, Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical College opened its doors with three teachers on the 250 acre Solitude farm. The farmhouse, Solitude, grew into a Greek Revival house. It served the college as an infirmary from 1882 to 1886 and is the oldest building on campus. The college later became Virginia Polytechnic Institute and is now Virginia Tech, the state's land-grant university.
- The HuckleberryThe first automobile passed through town in 1901. Three years later, trains began arriving from Christiansburg on the Virginia Anthracite & Coal Railroad, which people came to call the Huckleberry. The last freight train reached the Blacksburg depot on June 30, 1966, and within 24 hours the depot had closed and the tracks were pulled up. Residents spent years pushing for a trail on the old right-of-way, and the Huckleberry Trail opened on December 1, 1998.
- The county's first bankBlacksburg Savings Institution, founded in 1849, was the first bank in Montgomery County, and the town's first newspaper, the Montgomery Messenger, printed its first issue in 1869. As traffic grew, the town voted in January 1913 to stop letting cows roam its streets. In 1919 its first filling station opened, the only one between Roanoke and Bluefield, West Virginia.
