About this city
Blacksburg is a historic, rugged industrial and mountain gateway town nestled snugly at the southern foothills of the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains in Cherokee County. Originally settled in the late 19th century and incorporated in 1888, the town flourished dynamically alongside the rapid expansion of regional iron mining and commercial logging along the Southern Railway. Today, Blacksburg serves as an essential wilderness outpost, providing immediate launchpads to spectacular American Revolutionary War battlegrounds, pristine mountain state parks, and rugged rock formations.
