Rappahannock Rurality

In the Hills of Virginia

The citizens of Rappahannock County prize their rural heritage. They have managed to avoid much of the urban sprawl and cheap commercial development that spread through most of northern Virginia. But don't be fooled; there's plenty of wealth and culture here.

The western border of the county rests on the Blue Ridge Mountains. Rappahannock is said to be an Algonquian term meaning river of quick, rising water and a river with that same name flows many miles from the mountains to the Chesapeake Bay.
