Clarke County, Administrative county in northern Virginia, US
Clarke County is an administrative division in northern Virginia situated between the Shenandoah River and the Blue Ridge Mountains. The landscape consists of fertile valleys, rolling hills, farmland, and forested areas that define the region's natural geography.
The county was established in 1836 through separation from Frederick County and held strategic importance during the American Civil War. Military campaigns passed through the area due to its position near key river crossings and mountain passes.
The Clarke County Historical Association maintains records and artifacts documenting the agricultural traditions and social development of the region.
Berryville serves as the county seat and houses government offices, healthcare facilities, and schools serving the local population. The town provides essential services and amenities for residents and visitors in the area.
White Post village takes its name from a colonial-era wooden directional marker that once guided travelers to Lord Fairfax's Greenway Court estate. This distinctive landmark inspired the settlement's name that persists today.
