About Roanoke

Roanoke actually dates from the seventeenth century, when pioneers moved west across Virginia and settled in the Shenandoah Valley on the banks of the Roanoke River. As a result of the salt deposits in the area, this settlement received the tragic name "Big Lick." When the railroads began to forge their way across America, the city prospered as a transportation hub. The interstate system, however, nearly killed the town in the 1950's and 1960's. Ever resilient, Roanoke strove onward and, in recent years, reclaimed its downtown area. A good example of their progressive outlook is the popular Market Square - home to excellent dining, nightlife, and shopping as well as the historic Farmer's Market. Several museums are also here, including the Art Museum of Western Virginia and the Harrison Museum of African-American Culture. Today, Roanoke's future is as bright as ever, and if you look in the direction of Mill Mountain, you'll see that the city's star shines bright and true.
