The county was formed In 1856 from land taken from Lee, Scott, and Russell Counties. It was named after Henry A. Wise, who was the Governor of Virginia at the time. As of 2006, the population was 41,905, making it the largest jurisdiction in terms of population outside of any metropolitan area in Virginia. It is the home of Mountain Empire Community College and the University of Virginia’s College at Wise (originally named Clinch Valley College). Its county seat is Wise. Constructed in the town of Wise in 1896, the present day County Courthouse is the third. The first one was burned by Union troops in 1863, and not rebuilt until 1876. New wings were added to the current structure in 1926 and 1980. Wise County families experienced more World War II military deaths than all except two Virginia counties. The county includes Norton, the smallest city in Virginia, and the towns of Wise, Pound, Coeburn Appalachia, Big Stone Gap and St. Paul. Other communities include Addington, Almira, Andover, Arno, Banner, Beamantown, Big Laurel, Blackwood, Bondtown, Burtons Ford, Cadet, Carfax, Crab Orchard, Cracker Neck, Cranes Nest, Derby, Dewey, Dixiana, Dooley, Dorchester, Dorchester Junction, Dry Fork, Dunbar, Dwina, East Stone Gap, Esserville, Exeter, Flat Gap, Flatwoods, Gilley, Glamorgan, Haddonfield, Harper, Hurricane, Imboden, Inman, Irondale, Josephine, Kent Junction, Laurel, Laurel Grove, Linden, Lipps, Lower Exeter, Lyons, Maytown, Meade, Needmore, Oreton, Osaka, Pardee, Phipps, Riverview, Roda, Round Top, Roundstone, Stephens, Stonega, Sutherland, Tacoma,Toms Creek, Vicco, and Virginia City. Author Charles A. Johnson was associated with the office of the Clerk of Court in Wise County for some forty years. He assembled material about early Wise County history, and consulted with people who were present when Wise County was formed. There was a large gathering on the first session of court in 1856. Johnson describes some events of that day: «On a mossy boulder west of the little courthouse were a younger set, eating, drinking and making merry, to the tune of ‘Sourwood Mountain’ ringing from an old fiddler’s violin…Out near the spring old time hoedown dancing to the tune of ‘Shortnin’ Bread,’ rattling off from the catgut strings of a homemade banjo…» Wise County Narrative History Table of Contents Front matter Title page Dedication Picture acknowledgements First edition subscribers Table of Contents Introduction Greetings Chapter I.

WisePublished 1899The youth of Barton Wise was passed in Richmond, Virginia, amid scenes of change and mourning, which could not fail to make a deep impression upon him. His grandfather Wise, at whose house he was a frequent visitor, was no longer the fiery and impetuous Harry of by-gone days, but the boy knew him as an old and broken man, who, after a stormy and dramatic career, in which he had gained prominence and honor, had been overtaken by disasters, political and domestic, which had nearly conquered his indomitable spirit. Yet one strong trait was as prominent in his grandfather’s old age as it had been throughout his life, for no man ever more thoroughly enjoyed the companionship of children. Bonus #2 – Virginia Counties & Cities TimelineThis is a 21 page chart summarizing, in date order, the formation of all 180 Virginia counties now located in the present day states of Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky. Also includes information on the 90 independent cities of Virginia. Begins in 1634 with the eight original shires, continues through 1776 with the first county in present day Kentucky, and 1779 with the first county in present day West Virginia. Dickenson was the last new Virginia county, formed 1880. In 1920 Alexandria County was renamed Arlington County.
