Bath County, Administrative county in Virginia, United States
Bath County encompasses 535 square miles of land along Virginia's western border, with forests covering 89 percent of its territory.
Established in December 1790, Bath County emerged from portions of Augusta, Botetourt, and Greenbrier counties, drawing its name from England's mineral springs.
The county maintains its rural character through two elementary schools and one high school, serving approximately 555 students across all grade levels.
The Omni Homestead resort functions as the primary employer in Bath County, supporting the local economy through tourism and recreational activities.
Bath County operates the largest pumped-storage hydroelectric power station globally, which has been generating energy since 1985.
