Historic Preservation in Wytheville Posted by wythevillewebmaster (2007/11/10)
Historic Preservation in Wytheville - Excerpts from the Town of Wytheville Comprehensive Plan (2006)
the full plan is available on the Town website at http://www.wytheville.org/pdf/comprehensive%20plan%20-%20complete.pdf


HISTORIC PRESERVATION
Introduction
The modern day Town of Wytheville finds its origin in the earliest days of Wythe County as the site of the County courthouse and the center of commerce. In 1790, the Town was established as the Wythe County
seat. In 1792, the General Assembly passed an act establishing the new town of Evansham, named for a prominent county citizen, Jesse Evans. Almost fifty years later, on March 6, 1839, the town trustees rechristened Evansham as the Town of Wytheville.

Located at the crossroads of early transportation routes such as Peppers Ferry and Ingles Ferry Trails and the Great Road from Philadelphia, Wytheville was naturally selected as the regional supply center and a stopping point for settlers heading towards the western frontier. An abundance of natural mineral spas and a cool temperate climate characterized the town as a popular summer resort for families seeking refuge from the humid summers of the Deep South. During the years of the Civil War, Wytheville was a target for Northern
forces seeking to halt the production of lead at the nearby lead mines and stop the movement of supplies to the Confederate troops. Wythe County was the site of four major battles. The first was the Battle of
Wytheville, which occurred on July 17, 1863. Troops led by Colonel John Toland, destroyed most homes and businesses within the town.
