Named for a British Prime Minister and carved from
Augusta
County
in 1777,
Rockingham
County
lies at the heart of
Virginia
's
Shenandoah Valley
. As home to a portion of the
Great Wagon Road
running southwest from
Pennsylvania
, the county's culture and landscape reflect the influence of ethnic groups migrating to the frontier along this trail. Rockingham County's rich agricultural traditions have been a constant throughout its history, and while recent population increases have led to the disappearance of much of its rolling farmland, the county maintains a strong adherence to its agricultural past.
