Montgomery County, County in Virginia, United States
Montgomery County spreads across a hilly area in western Virginia with Christiansburg as the county seat and Blacksburg as its largest town. The area includes several communities and rural sections within a valley and ridge region.
The county was established in 1776 from parts of the former Fincastle County and took its name from General Richard Montgomery, who died in the American Revolution. Its creation occurred during the nation's founding era.
Virginia Tech shapes education and serves as the region's main economic driver. The university influences daily life and draws students and professionals to the area.
Main government offices are located in Christiansburg, where you can obtain permits, marriage records, and other official documents. It is helpful to check office hours before visiting any administrative departments.
The county is divided into seven geographic districts, each represented by an elected supervisor. This system allows local input on budget and policy decisions at the district level.
