Winchester and Frederick County, at the top of the Shenandoah Valley and Virginia, was once Shawnee Indian camping grounds to which Pennsylvania Quakers came to settle in 1732. Today the population of the city is approximately 25,000 and the county is 78,000. The town was named Frederick Town after Frederick, father of George III of England. In 1752 the name was changed to Winchester in honor of the ancient English capital. In the mid-1700s Frederick County became the military and political training ground for George Washington, who came here at the age of 16 to survey the lands of Thomas, the Sixth Lord Fairfax. Washington built Fort Loudoun during the French and Indian War and, at 26, was elected to his first public office as the county’s representative to the House of Burgesses. During the Revolutionary War, Daniel Morgan’s Riflemen from Frederick County were among the first who came to Washington’s aid against the British. War prisoners were housed in Winchester and the neighboring countryside.

Use the maps on pages 26 to 29 and make the Visitor Center your first stop to plan the optimal route for your sight-seeing tour. Winchester was a strategic prize of great importance during the Civil War. Winchester and Frederick County became the scene of six battles during the Civil War, and the city itself changed hands around seventy times during the four-year conflict, it is said thirteen times in one day. General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson demonstrated his military leadership in the Valley Campaign. Winchester was familiar to him not only as a military objective, but also as his home during the winter of 1861-62. He was joined here by his wife, Anna, in late 1861. The gothic revival style cottage now serves as a museum to his honor. In Winchester and Frederick County, visitors will see many relics of the area’s history: the tomb of Lord Fairfax in the yard of Christ Episcopal Church; the home and grave of General Daniel Morgan, hero of the Revolutionary War; George Washington’s headquarters; the headquarters of Stonewall Jackson; the Hollingsworth house, Abram’s Delight, built in 1754 and now completely furnished with relics of the 18th century; houses of the Revolutionary era; the National and Confederate Cemeteries with thousands of heroes’ General Daniel Morgan graves; the remains of an old church used as barracks during the Revolutionary War; the Hopewell Meeting House, established in 1734; Belle Grove Plantation, 1797; and many others. 6www.VisitWinchesterVA.com Belle Grove Historic Plantation Winchester-Frederick County experiences cool springs, warm summer nights, and crisp autumn weather of the Shenandoah Valley climate.
