Shenandoah Valley
Summary
The Shenandoah Valley (ˌʃɛnənˈdoʊə) is a geographic valley and cultural region of western Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia in the United States. The valley is bounded to the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the west by the eastern front of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians (excluding Massanutten Mountain), to the north by the Potomac River and to the south by the James River. The cultural region covers a larger area that includes all of the valley plus the Virginia highlands to the west, and the Roanoke Valley to the south. It is physiographically located within the Ridge and Valley province and is a portion of the Great Appalachian Valley.
Named for the river that stretches much of its length, the Shenandoah Valley encompasses eight counties in Virginia and two counties in West Virginia.
Augusta County, Virginia
Clarke County, Virginia
Frederick County, Virginia
Page County, Virginia
Rockbridge County, Virginia
Rockingham County, Virginia
Shenandoah County, Virginia
Warren County, Virginia

The antebellum composition included four additional counties that are now in West Virginia as well as four additional Virginia counties.
Morgan County, West Virginia
Hampshire County, West Virginia
Hardy County, West Virginia

Botetourt County, Virginia

Bath County, Virginia

The cultural region includes five more counties in Virginia:

Between the Roanoke Valley in the south and Harpers Ferry in the north, where the Shenandoah River joins the Potomac, the Valley cultural region contains 10 independent cities:

The central section of the Shenandoah Valley is split in half by the Massanutten Mountain range, with the smaller associated Page Valley lying to its east and the Fort Valley within the mountain range.
