About Staunton, Virginia

Staunton is an independent city of 25,750 people in the Shenandoah Valley, between the Blue Ridge and the Allegheny Mountains. John Lewis and his family settled here in 1732. In 1736 the Crown granted William Beverley, a planter and merchant from Essex County, more than 118,000 acres in what became Augusta County. Ten years later, surveyor Thomas Lewis drew the first town plat for Beverley at a spot called Beverley's Mill Place.

The town was founded in 1747 and renamed for Lady Rebecca Staunton, wife of Lieutenant-Governor Sir William Gooch. Because it sat at the center of the colony, it held the westernmost courthouse in British North America before the Revolution. In June 1781 it briefly served as Virginia's capital, after legislators fled Richmond and then Charlottesville to escape the British.

“Chartered on 13 January 1844 as the Virginia Female Institute, Stuart Hall is Virginia's oldest college preparatory school for girls.”

  • A Union raid in 1864Staunton grew along the Valley Pike as a center of trade, especially once the Virginia Central Railroad arrived in 1854. Its factories made carriages, wagons, boots, shoes, clothing and blankets. In 1861 the town voted 3,300 to 6 for secession and became a Confederate supply depot. David Hunter, a Union major general, marched in with 10,000 troops on June 6, 1864, and the next day his men destroyed the railroad station, warehouses, factories and mills.
  • The nation's first city managerStaunton became an independent city on July 10, 1902. In 1908 it switched to the city manager form of government and hired Charles E. Ashburner, the first city manager in the country. In 1926 the city took Lady Rebecca Staunton's coat of arms as its own, on its seal and its flag.
  • Woodrow Wilson's birthplaceWoodrow Wilson, the 28th president, was born in Staunton, and the Woodrow Wilson Presidential Library here is open to visitors.
  • Home of the Statler BrothersDon Reid, Harold Reid, Phil Balsley and Lew DeWitt of the Statler Brothers all grew up in Staunton. Until 1994 the group played free concerts at the city's Fourth of July celebration, joined by other country music artists.
  • Hotchkiss and The OaksThe Oaks, on East Beverley Street, went up in the 1840s. In 1888 the Civil War mapmaker Jedediah Hotchkiss rebuilt and enlarged it, and the house is now on the National Register, along with the Stuart House, the Sears House and Booker T. Washington High School. Architect Thomas Jasper Collins designed nearly 200 of the city's buildings.
