Augusta County is steeped in history and was once considered the “wild frontier”, spanning as far west as the Mississippi River!

Today, Augusta County represents the new and the traditional aspects of country living. Farming and agriculture are still an essential mainstay of the area, but a new breed of businesses like craft-breweries and vineyards are creating new uses of the land and contributing to resident enjoyment.
