Blacksburg

Blacksburg has served as a university town in Virginia’s New River Valley since the 1870s. Virginia Tech, founded in 1872 as a land-grant institution, gives the town its academic rhythm and a substantial share of its public life. The broad Drillfield forms the campus core, while Lane Stadium anchors autumn Saturdays, when college football shapes the local calendar. Beyond the university, the Huckleberry Trail links Blacksburg with nearby Christiansburg along a former rail corridor through rolling Appalachian country. The New River Valley places the town in southwest Virginia, between rural communities and mountain terrain.
