Roanoke County, Administrative county in western Virginia, United States
Roanoke County extends across 251 square miles of land in Virginia, containing residential communities, commercial districts, and natural landscapes near the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Virginia General Assembly established Roanoke County in 1838, designating Salem as its administrative center and capital city.
The county maintains numerous public libraries, including the Hollins branch, which provides educational resources and community programs for local residents.
Residents receive emergency notifications through the RoCo Alert system, which delivers real-time updates about weather conditions and local safety concerns.
The county administration developed a mobile application called RoCo that enables citizens to access government services and information directly from their phones.
