Hill’s Virginia Gazetteer and Classified Business Directory — 1911

Grayson County, Virginia

This county was formed in 1793 from Wythe, and borders on the State of North Carolina. It was named in honor of Hon. William Grayson, who was a member of the Virginia Convention of 1788, which adopted the Federal Constitution. The Iron mountain range skirts it on the north and west, and Carroll county is on the east. The New river and many of its branches extend through and water the county. The lands are quite fertile, and good crops of buckwheat, corn, rye, oats, wheat and the grasses are made. A great many horses, cattle and sheep are raised. The minerals reported are iron, copper, lead, asbestos and soapstone, and the timbers are pine (yellow and white), walnut, hickory, chestnut and oak.
