About Staunton, VA 

History records indicate that the first white settler to travel over the Blue Ridge Mountains was John Lewis, who settled in the Staunton area in 1732. Since Staunton escaped the Civil War undamaged, its 18th and early 19th century homes and buildings still stand today and are beautifully preserved. 

One of Staunton's main streets, Beverley, is named after William Beverley who received a grant from King George of about 120,000 acres sometime around 1736. By 1747, Beverley had designed a small village. A few years later, the General Assembly chartered Beverley�s village, which was then named Staunton, using the last name of the wife of a colonial governor; Governor Gooch. Staunton was incorporated as a city in 1871. 

Staunton's exceptional collection of historic preservation areas include the Gospel Hill Historic District, so named in the late 1790s when religious meetings were held at its blacksmith shop. Its elegant homes include examples of Victorian, Greek Revival, and Federal styles. The Downtown Historic
