History

The first pioneers to explore the Tazewell area were the long hunters, surveyors and land speculators. In 1750, Dr. Thomas Walker recorded in his diary about his visit to the area. He remarked on the lush grass, plentifulness of game and large quantities of coal. Over 200 years have passed, but the natural beauty of the region has remained unspoiled. The beauty of the mountains and vast areas of pastureland continues to delight visitors to the area.

Township, the Tazewell Courthouse and finally, Tazewell. The Town serves as the County seat of Tazewell County and is one of the most historic areas in the County. The original character of the community has been preserved with its tree-lined streets and well-groomed Victorian houses.

With the coming of the railroad in the late 1880's, Tazewell County advanced in exporting agricultural products and coal. Today, with Routes 19 and 460 cutting through the Town, businesses and industry are expanding, along with an increasing number of tourists who enjoy camping, fishing and hiking the Appalachian Trail which borders Burkes Garden, a designated Virginia Scenic By-Way.
