Jefferson County Facts & Figures
Named for the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, Jefferson County was probably first settled in the 18th century.
With most of the success of the county coming from agriculture, limestone quarries and iron ore deposits have helped diversify the county's economy, as well as orchards in the 1880s and dairy farms in the 1920s and 30s.
Largely due to the natural beauty of the area, relatively cheap real estate and close proximity to larger cities, Jefferson County grew its population from 20,000 to 40,000 between 1970 and 2000.
A major player during the Civil War, Jefferson County was home to an armory in Harpers Ferry that was the subject of an attack by notorious abolitionist John Browne in 1859, often thought of as one of the events that sparked the Civil War.Today, Harpers Ferry is known for its popular civil war reenactments, including this famous raid. A quaint town in its own right, those interested in history enjoy the faithful representations of what the area was like during this tumultuous time.
Harpers Ferry National Historical Park is an area located in the area that provides residents and visitors alike with plenty of gorgeous green space to enjoy while strolling, hiking, biking or jogging through this scenic sylvan area.
