Berkeley County, WV
 | |
Berkeley County was formed in 1772 from the northern third of Frederick County, Virginia. Although it remained a part of both Virginia and the Confederacy throughout the Civil War, Berkeley County joined the newly-formed state of West Virginia in 1866, during Reconstruction. Now it is the fastest-growing county in the state, and ranked within the top three percent of fastest-growing counties in the nation. It’s easy to see why Berkeley County real estate is in demand. Much the county’s appeal stems from its location at the northern terminus of the 200-mile long Shenandoah Valley, one of the top ten travel destinations in the U.S. The county, appropriately known as the “Northernmost Gateway to the Shenandoah Valley,” is within easy driving distance of such popular attractions as Skyline and Luray Caverns, Bryce Mountain Resort, and Natural Bridge. Berkeley County’s natural beauty forms a scenic backdrop to its meticulously preserved historic buildings. The county is home to 106 of the eastern panhandle’s 245 properties listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The annual Berkeley County Historical Society Fall House Tour also provides entrée to some of the county’s private historic locales. |  |
 | Martinsburg is the county seat of Berkeley County. With its population of over 15,000, it is the largest city in the eastern panhandle. Martinsburg is experiencing a period of urban renewal, thanks to the assistance of the National Main Street Center (NMSC). The NMSC is a grassroots-based economic development effort that offers technical assistance, professional training, grants, and small business loans to communities interested in revitalizing downtown and neighborhood commercial districts. As a result, Martinsburg is quickly developing into a vibrant cultural center that boasts a growing selection of eclectic shops and upscale dining. |
