Staunton Information
Welcome > Local Info > Staunton Information ...

Staunton, VA

Staunton (pronounced STAN-ton) is the classic small railroad town in American History. However, it was founded long before the railroad made its mark.  First founded in 1747, Staunton began its history as a major center for trade in Virginia. Before West Virginia split from Virginia, Staunton was the geographical center of the state and its location at the intersection of the Great Wagon Road (later the valley turnpike) and roads leading to the west made it a hub of trade. Then, when the Virginia Central Railroad was built through Staunton in 1854, the town really began to grow, reaching its current population of 24,000.

Remarkably unscathed during the civil war, many historic buildings remain prevalent in the architecture of Staunton’s downtown.  Residents of Staunton are proud to boast that it is home to five national historic districts.  Staunton’s main street area, better known as Beverly Street, is still bustling with growth and activity.  New shops and restaurants are opening and a new parking garage makes everything accessible and enjoyable.  Staunton’s residents also enjoy a thriving cultural arts scene with productions by American Shakespeare Center, performances of the Stonewall Brigade Band, and weekly concerts in Gypsy Hill Park during the summer.

As well as Staunton’s architectural history, it is also known for its educational tradition.  Mary Baldwin College and Stuart Hall both founded in the 1840’s are still in operation.  The Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind is also located in Staunton and was one of the first state supported schools of its kind in the United States.  Woodrow Wilson’s presidential library is also in downtown Staunton, the place of the past president’s birth.

Whether residents want to take in the sites downtown, or stroll along the lake in Gypsy Hill Park average summer temperatures around 85
°F make it an enjoyable experience.  During the winter, average temperatures in the 40’s make for perfect days to enjoy a cup of coffee in one the many downtown shops.


Staunton is still the classic railroad town with charm and a strong sense of community, perfect for your new hometown.

Real Estate Tips
Buying Land and New Construction >Testing the Soil

Are you building a custom-designed home on hand picked acreage? An essential step is testing the soil, which will determine the composition of the ground that must provide a stable foundation for your new home.

The soil could have a combination of various conditions and characteristics. It might be fine, silt-laden soil that collapses when it absorbs excessive water, or soil with a high clay content that sucks up water and then expands under a building, causing it to buckle or shift. Such soil is easy to excavate but unstable to build on. It must be replaced in compacted layers until it achieves suitable density to provide a stable foundation for the house.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, your land might sit on a layer of hard rock, which is wonderfully stable, but extremely hard to penetrate. Excavation costs will be higher if your builder has to bring in heavy equipment to dig out the rock. A professional soil report will help your builder determine the best approach to engineering your site.
