Carroll County, Administrative county in Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia, US.
Carroll County is an administrative county in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, stretching across mountainous terrain with varying elevations and landscape features. The region includes valleys, forested ridges, and open land that shape its character.
The county was established in 1842, created from territory that previously belonged to Grayson County. This formation was part of Virginia's administrative expansion during the 19th century.
Traditional crafts and music traditions remain active in local communities, shaping how residents connect with their heritage through everyday practices.
Hillsville serves as the county seat and administrative hub where most government services are located in the Governmental Center. The mountainous terrain means roads wind through the landscape, so travel planning should account for elevation changes.
The New River Trail State Park runs through the region, featuring a former railroad line that visitors can now explore by foot or bicycle. This converted rail corridor connects the landscape with industrial heritage in an unusual way.
