Shenandoah County, County in Virginia, United States
Shenandoah County encompasses 512 square miles of land in the Shenandoah Valley region, with Woodstock serving as the county seat.
Founded in 1772 as Dunmore County, the name changed to Shenandoah during the American Revolutionary War to distance from the last royal governor.
The territory holds connections to Native American heritage, potentially deriving its name from the Senedo people or the Oneida chief John Skenandoa.
Interstate 81, US Route 11, and US Route 211 provide primary transportation connections throughout the county, linking major communities and surrounding regions.
The county contains sections of Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park plus portions of George Washington National Forest within its boundaries.
