Melrose sits in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, where limestone farmland extends between the Blue Ridge and the western Appalachian ridges. This Rockingham County locality lies near the Cross Keys battlefield, where Confederate and Union troops fought in 1862 during Stonewall Jackson’s Valley Campaign. Agriculture remains central to the county, notably poultry production, and the valley has long been a north–south route through the Appalachians. Harrisonburg, southwest of Melrose, is the regional centre and home to James Madison University.
