Located west of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the famous Shenandoah Valley, Clarke County's history goes back to when Native Americans inhabited the area before Europeans settled there in the 1700's. It was established officially in 1836, breaking off from Frederick County. The rich heritage of the county includes many Civil War milestones and more than 15 official historical landmarks and buildings. There are two incorporated towns within Clarke County; Boyce and Berryville (the county seat).
