Frederick County is the northernmost county in Virginia and was formed in 1743 by dividing Orange County. It is part of the Washington-Baltimore-Northern Virginia Combined Statistical Area. Native Americans inhabited the region for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. During the Civil War, the Union Army occupied parts of Frederick County. Today, the region is a vibrant place to live and work.
The city has recently undertaken a study of its future land use. It identified areas that have potential to develop, including the Sheando Center, Route 277 Triangle, Center of Economy, and Interstate Commercial @ 307 corridor. It has also promoted the continuation of agribusiness activities, as well as the preservation of the area's pristine landscape.
This area also contains historic properties, including the Millbank House and Parkins Mill Battery. Historic properties should be restored and made accessible for people who want to explore them. The city also needs public parks and other public spaces.
