Rappahannock County is a special place as any of the 7,000 some residents here will tell you!It is unique in Virginia in that it is the only county that has no traffic light and no supermarket!And that suits most of the residents here just fine!
Some of the communities in the county are Washington (the county seat), Amissville, Sperryville and Flint Hill. The Rappahannock River flows along the northeast boundary of the county and separates it from bordering Fauquier County. To the southwest is Madison County and to the southeast is Culpeper County. | ||

If you are thinking about relocating to this county, you should know you'd probably encounter plenty of deer, black bear and wild turkey.While neighbors can be a little further away than in the city, there is also more socializing. Neighbors depend on each other more when the nearest store can be quite a drive, especially after a major snowstorm! But Fauquier Hospital and Culpeper Regional Hospital are both within convenient distances from Rappahannock residents.
The county is likely to stay rural given the current zoning rules that say you cannot build on less than 25 acres. If you are looking for a lifestyle far from the hustle and bustle of the city, this may be the perfect place for you!
