Pulaski County
,
Virginia
is a community full of untouched natural resources. Nestled deep in the New River Valley against the
s
plendor of the magnificent BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS, it is a community that celebrates its past heritage, while embracing the
sensations of the flowing New River, the spectacle of seasonal changes along the New River Trail and Pulaski County's best kept
secret, Claytor Lake State Park.
The
County
of
Pulaski
was created from portions of
Montgomery
and
Wythe
Counties
in 1839 when Pulaski became the 87
th
county
of the
Commonwealth
of
Virginia
. The County was named in hornor of Count Casimir Pulaski, an exiled Polish nobleman who came to
America
and joined George Washington’s army in 1777. He gave his life in the cause of American Freedom when he was mortally
wounded at
Savannah
in October 1779.
A decade following the reconstruction period found
Pulaski
County
’s economy experiencing a boom.
There were two incorporated
towns in the county – Newbern and Dublin, some sixty-five (65) merchants and tradesmen in business, nine (9) hotels, twenty (20) flour
and grist mills, and seventeen (17) saw mills scattered about the county.
The 1880’s brought several heavy industries to
Pulaski
County
including the Bertha Zinc Works, the charcoal fire Boom Furnace near Allisonia, and Pulaski Iron Company.
Also, by the
end of the 1880’s Dora Furnace was under construction in Pulaski.
The rapid expansion of industry inspired the Norfolk & Western to build two branch lines running out of
Pulaski
County
.
While trade
and manufacturing were going strong in
Pulaski
County
, they accounted for only a minor part of the economy.
The county’s biggest
industry remained farming and stock raising.
In addition, during this decade a number of new schools and churches were built
throughout
Pulaski
County
.
In 1886 the Town of Pulaski was incorporated under the name of “
Pulaski
City
”.
The future county seat rapidly developed into a
manufacturing center and railroad town.
The Norfolk & Western Railroad made a valuable contribution to the new town in its early
days by building the Maple Shade Inn.
There are 17 additional towns and 6 additional counties named after Pulaski in the USA: in Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin.
