Dugspur, Laurel Fork, and Lambsburg each sit near the Patrick, Floyd, or North Carolina lines and are sometimes miscoded to a neighboring county in older gazetteers.<\/p>\n ZIP Codes<\/h2>\nEvery community in the county is covered by one of these seven ZIP codes; Hilltown, straddling the Grayson County line, has no distinct ZIP of its own.<\/p>\n Geography<\/h2>\nRoughly one-fifth of Carroll County lies in the Virginia Piedmont; the rest rises into the Appalachian Mountains, including the Blue Ridge escarpment along the county’s eastern edge. The New River’s headwaters and tributaries drain much of the county’s mountain terrain.<\/p>\n Carroll County borders Wythe County<\/a> to the northwest, Pulaski County<\/a> to the north, Floyd County<\/a> to the northeast, Patrick County<\/a> to the east and southeast, Surry County, North Carolina to the south, and the independent city of Galax and Grayson County<\/a> to the west.<\/p>\n Carroll County’s population was 29,155 at the 2020 census. Hillsville, the county seat, is the largest community at 2,897 residents; Fancy Gap and Cana are the next-largest recognized places. The county’s median household income runs well below the Virginia median of $89,931, consistent with its rural Appalachian economy. Population density is roughly 61 people per square mile.<\/p>\n Agriculture, forestry, and light manufacturing anchor the local economy, alongside tourism tied to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which crosses the county’s eastern edge near Fancy Gap. Hillsville hosts two of the region’s best-known flea markets, held every Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend; the Labor Day show has drawn crowds described as the largest flea market east of the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n Carroll County was formed in 1842 from part of Grayson County and named for Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. Its boundaries were enlarged in 1845 and 1854 by annexing land from Patrick County. The county’s best-known historical event is the 1912 Hillsville courthouse shooting, in which defendant Floyd Allen and his family opened fire during his trial, killing the circuit judge, the commonwealth’s attorney, the sheriff, and two others — a case that made national headlines until it was overshadowed by the Titanic disaster months later.<\/p>\n Interstate 77 crosses the county’s western side, with U.S. Route 58 running east–west through Hillsville toward the Blue Ridge Parkway at Fancy Gap.<\/p>\n The nearest commercial airport is Roanoke–Blacksburg Regional Airport.<\/p>\n Where is Carroll County, Virginia?<\/strong> What is the population of Carroll County?<\/strong> How big is Carroll County?<\/strong> What is the county seat of Carroll County?<\/strong> How many towns are in Carroll County?<\/strong> What ZIP codes are in Carroll County?<\/strong> |
