Christiansburg

Among Virginia’s towns, Christiansburg stands out as a commercial and administrative center of the New River Valley. It lies on the uplands of Montgomery County, near the Blue Ridge Mountains and within a region shaped by the New River, one of North America’s oldest waterways. The historic center developed around the county courthouse, reflecting Christiansburg’s enduring role as the county seat. The former Christiansburg Institute forms an important chapter in local African American history: founded after the Civil War, it educated Black students until 1966. Downtown businesses, the nearby presence of Virginia Tech, and access to mountain country give the town an active, practical character.
