About Waynesboro, Virginia

Waynesboro is an independent city of 22,196 people in the Shenandoah Valley, with the South River running through it. In the mid-18th century the settlement was known as Teasville, and it stood on land owned by James Flack. After Gen. Anthony Wayne won the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794, people began calling it Waynesborough. Many settlers had come from Pennsylvania, where Wayne was popular, and that likely helped the name stick. Downtown lots were laid out and sold by 1798, when Samuel and J. Estill added twenty-one acres of streets and alleys, and Virginia recognized the town on January 8, 1801.

The town was incorporated by 1834, but it grew slowly, from 250 people in 1810 to 457 in 1860. Travelers kept it busy because it sat on Three Notch'd Road, which ran from Staunton east to Charlottesville and Richmond and climbed the Blue Ridge at Jarman's Gap. Shortly before the Civil War, a railroad tunnel was cut through Rockfish Gap, and that pass became the main route over the mountains toward Charlottesville.

  • Twenty minutes in 1865On March 2, 1865, George Armstrong Custer routed Lt. General Jubal A. Early here in a fight that lasted twenty minutes. It was Early's last battle of the war and the end of the Confederate army in the Shenandoah Valley, which soon passed to General Philip Sheridan. Some buildings still carry scars from the fighting, and soldiers killed in the Valley Campaign lie in Ridgeview Cemetery, where the Waynesboro Confederate Monument records their names and states.
  • The Iron Cross and Basic CityAfter the war, a Chesapeake and Ohio line running east and west crossed the Shenandoah Valley Railroad's north-south line near town, a junction nicknamed the Iron Cross. In 1890 speculators sold lots east of the South River and incorporated Basic City, which built an opera house, Commerce Avenue and the Hotel Brunswick. Unlike dry Waynesboro, it allowed liquor sales. The Panic of 1896 ended its boom, and in 1923 the rival towns merged, soon taking the single name Waynesboro.
  • Where spandex was inventedSpandex was invented at DuPont's Benger Laboratory in Waynesboro, and the company's plant here made it under the Lycra brand. Along with the Wayn-Tex textile mill and a General Electric site that made relays and later computer printers, the plant employed many residents for much of the 20th century. It now operates as The Lycra Company.
  • The first brick house, 1806Two buildings on the National Register survive from the young town's early years. The Coiner-Quesenbery House on Main Street went up in 1806 and is thought to be the first house in Waynesboro built of brick. The Plumb House from the same period is now a museum that opens for tours in season.
