About Covington, Virginia
Covington is a city of 5,737 people where Dunlap Creek meets the Jackson River, and it is the county seat of Alleghany County, which surrounds it. White settlers first came here in 1745, when the land was part of Augusta County. In August 1818 Dr. James Merry began selling lots on 25 acres he owned at a spot people called the Mouth of the Dunlap. In 1819 the new town was named Covington, honoring General Leonard Covington, a War of 1812 hero who counted Thomas Jefferson and James Madison among his friends.
Three years later, on January 5, 1822, the Virginia General Assembly carved Alleghany County out of parts of Bath, Botetourt and Monroe counties, and Covington became part of the new county. The legislature incorporated the town in 1833. By 1855 it had two streets and 43 houses, and its stores served the farmers and stock raisers around it. Hemp was the main crop, grown for the ships of eastern Virginia, until the Virginia Central Railroad reached town in 1867 and opened the way for industry.
- An industrial boom from 1891The Covington Iron Furnace opened in 1891 and turned out 110 tons of pig iron a day. The Deford Tannery followed in 1892, along with flour mills, two brick companies and machine shops that built coke extractors for steelmaking. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railway put its fourth largest freight paying station here, after Chicago, Cincinnati and Richmond, and fourteen passenger trains stopped each day. Covington grew from 704 people in 1890 to 5,632 in 1920.
- The paper mill since 1899In 1899 A. Adams McAllister sold land at a bargain price to persuade the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company to build in Covington. The mill, later called Westvaco and then WestRock, became the town's largest employer. After a 2024 merger it became part of Smurfit Westrock, and it still employs about 1300 workers making bleached paper and paperboard for packaging.
- County seat in 1902The General Assembly made Covington the seat of Alleghany County in 1902. As the town grew, it pushed its limits outward several times, and in 1952 it became an independent city. Industry later thinned out: Lear Corporation closed its plant in December 2005, and AET shut down in March 2008.
- A church organized in 1870First Baptist Church of Covington was organized in 1870, and over the years it grew into the largest African American congregation in the city. The church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
- Volunteers since 1902The Covington Fire Department received its charter on March 4, 1902. The Covington Rescue Squad followed in 1933, and it ranks as the third oldest volunteer rescue squad in Virginia. Both are still run by volunteers.
