HISTORY OF
WARREN COUNTY
Native people built in Warren County what is
considered the oldest permanent structure east of the
Mississippi River in North America, an eleven thousand year old ceremonial building, the archaeological
remains of which are known today as the Thunderbird
Site. The first documented European explorer to see
Warren County and the Shenandoah Valley – John
Lederer in 1670 – noted an almost eerie absence of
Native people, who had been killed by warfare and
disease. By the early 1700s when fur trapping and land
prospecting began in the Shenandoah Valley the
Cherokee, Iroquois and Shawnee were using the Valley as a collective hunting ground.
In 1729 a group of German immigrants led by Joist
Hite purchased several thousand acres of land in
the northern Shenandoah Valley. A community of
Quaker families from Maryland led by Robert
McKay came at the same time as Hite’s Germans.
In 1734 Thomas Chester established a ferry service
known as Chester’s Ferry at the juncture of the forks
of the Shenandoah River, and in the 1740s an
English Lord – Thomas, Lord Fairfax, the 6th Baron
of Cameron – came to the area that is today
Warren County to lay claim to his inheritance: a
five million acre swath of the colony that extended
from the Chesapeake Bay through the Shenandoah
Valley and on to western Maryland. In 1754 a large
extended family under the leadership of the son of
a French Huguenot, Peter LeHew, settled at the foot
of the Blue Ridge along the road leading from
Chester’s Gap to Chester’s Ferry, and LeHewtown
was established. During the French & Indian War
LeHewtown was the Royal Frontier of the British
Empire, hence the town’s name at the time of its
charter in 1788: Front Royal.
By the coming of railroads and canals in the 1830s
the overland migration routes changed, and when
Warren County was incorporated in March of 1836
the community had settled into an agricultural
5
existence, with small farming villages surrounding
Front Royal and Riverton.
When the war came in 1861, Warren County bore
with the rest of Virginia much of the horrors of war.
Great battles fought nearby meant a steady stream of
wounded to be cared for and supplies to be
collected. On May 23, 1862, the Battle of Front Royal
took place in the streets and buildings of the county
seat, and Warren County lost use of the bridges spanning the forks of the Shenandoah. In 1864 the Union
burned many mills in the Valley, Warren County included. The war’s end saw Warren in ruins, its
economy shattered, and population drained. New
bridges would not connect Front Royal to the rest of
the county for another three decades.
The turn of the century saw new life breathed into
Warren County, which had recovered during
Reconstruction slowly with the development of the
Bank of Warren and some light industry. By the 1890s
the Front Royal-Riverton Improvement Company had
incorporated, built new bridges, laid out new neighborhoods and encouraged new factories to locate in
Front Royal and Riverton – Virginia’s “Twin Cities.”
The county drew its labor pool from surrounding counties that remained largely agricultural, and by the
1930s the American Viscose Corporation had constructed an enormous rayon facility, which would
employ over 80% of the county’s workforce by the
1940s. The Great Depression saw many public works
projects in the county develop, the largest of which
was Shenandoah National Park and its Skyline Drive.
Tourism was now added to agriculture and industry as
Warren County’s livelihood.
Today Warren County still stands at the nexus of several transportation routes, and has become part of the
greater Washington, DC community and economy,
both receiving visitors and new residents from Northern Virginia as well as sending many residents in the
opposite direction for work and school. Warren
County continues to grow and change as a result, with
its position as a transportation hub continuing to define that growth as it has for centuries.

WARREN COUNTY
DEPARTMENT OF
FIRE & RESCUE SERVICES
www.warrencountyfire.com
The Warren County Department of Fire and Rescue
Services is a combination Fire and Rescue system supported
by approximately 80 active volunteers and a career staff of
22. We offer fire, emergency medical, rescue, hazardous
materials, and water rescue to our citizens. We consist of
10 stations; five staffed with career personnel (Companies
1 & 10 are staffed with a 24 hour ALS & BLS provider,
Co.s 2, 3, & 4 are staffed 12 hours a day with Co.s 2 & 4
staffing daytime and Co. 3 staffing nights) and five volunteer
stations.
We offer many services to our community in addition to
emergency response services. Through our Fire Prevention
Division, we provide a "Smoke Detector Program" for the
elderly and disadvantaged, Home Safety Inspection
Program, Courtesy Business Inspection program, standby
for community functions and events, fire prevention
demonstrations in the schools and at functions, etc. We
conduct these public relation activities by utilizing a
cooperative staff of career and volunteers.
30
Our Training Division offers classes that make our
Department self sufficient for both fire and EMS training
and certifications including Firefighter I and II, EMT, Pump
Operations, Truck Operations, EVOC, EMT B/I/P
recertifications, Vehicle Extrication, Rural Water Supply
among others.
In January 2006, Warren County adopted a “compassionate
billing” policy called the Cost Recovery Program. This
policy allows the Department to obtain financial
reimbursement for the cost of necessary emergency medical
transports. Reimbursement comes directly from Medicaid,
Medicare and other private insurance companies who
already include this service in the coverage they offer to
the policy holders. For those who do not have insurance,
Warren County Fire and Rescue will work with the residents
to ensure no one suffers financial hardship as a result of
ambulance transport. A hardship waiver form will be sent
to patients transported and therefore their bill will be
written off. No one will ever be denied county ambulance
service based on their ability to pay or lack of insurance.
When residents need emergency help, they should call
911 without hesitation.
In December 2011, the Board of Supervisors approved the
position of Fire Marshal in the Department of Fire & Rescue.
They also approved the enforcement provisions of the
Statewide Fire Prevention Code. The Fire Marshal will
also manage the Fire Prevention Division of the Department
as well as investigate fire incidents.

2. Where or who can I call to obtain information on
home fire safety and disaster?
Call the Fire Administration Office.
3. How can I volunteer?

midnight and the burn must be attended at all

suppression costs and damages if fire becomes out

and the Blue Mountain Sanitary District
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
