| − | Page county.
| |
| − | This county lies in the northeastern part of the State, lying along the north-ern slope of the Blue Ridge mountains, known as the "Shenandoah Valley." It is abundantly watered by the Shenan-doah river, flowing through the entire length of the county, and this, with its numerous tributaries, furnish abundant water power for factories, etc. Our soils are mostly limestone and sandy, and specially adapted to corn, wheat, etc. Fruits of all kinds are a special industry. We have an abundance of timber of every kind. We have a good market for all kinds of trade, a home market for our produce, lumber, tanbark, etc. We have the Shenandoah Valley railroad running lengthwise of the county, giving access to the road. The county-seat is near the center, giving a good market for every-thing. In the northern part of the coun-ty we have a large iron manufacturing company, giving employment to about one thousand hands. We have very good school-three graded schools, all in fine working order. We have only a few de-nominations of religion here, the principle ones being Southern Baptist, Methodist, Bible Christian, and a few Dunkards. All who contemplate moving should come to Page county.
