The historic town of Woodstock started out many years ago under a different name. In 1752, settler Jacob Miller founded Muellerstadt, or Miller Town, on land granted by Lord Fairfax. Miller Town was renamed Woodstock in 1761 after George Washington helped get it established by charter.
In 1722, the town became the county seat of Shenandoah County, where its courthouse, designed by Thomas Jefferson and built in 1795, is the oldest courthouse west of the Blue Ridge Mountains still in use.
Today, Woodstock boasts a variety of restaurants, accommodations and specialty shops. For more information on things to do, see and where to shop in Woodstock, click on Woodstock-area advertiser ads shown on this page.
