Unveiling Clarke County

Tech meets Tradition in DC's Oasis

On the western edge of the Washington, DC metropolitan statistical area that stretches in the Virginia Commonwealth is Clarke County, a community where innovation in technology and economy has not tarnished the county’s strong agricultural and historical heritage. Clarke County is one of the smaller counties in Virginia, with a U.S. Census Bureau reported population of about 15,000, but its character packs a big punch.

Located just 60 minutes west of Washington, DC in the northern Shenandoah Valley, Clarke County is served by Interstate 81 and Washington Dulles International Airport, which is located just one county over in Loudoun County. In addition to ready access to a major highway and airport, the Norfolk-Southern rail line runs through Clarke County, passing through Berryville, Boyce and the Clarke County Business Park. The ease of transit created by these means has been a hallmark for success and growth for the area’s major manufacturing businesses.
