Winchester Virginia & Shenandoah Valley - 3/1/2008
As a full time resident since 1984 and a part time area resident (weekends) since 1956, I've watched the growth of this dynamic community up close. I've been a REALTOR in the Winchester area since 1987 focusing on residential, land and farms. Winchester is unique in that most of it's downtown has been preserved and renovated. Many of it's historic areas are much as they have been for the last 2 centuries. The area is gifted with many preserved historical sites associated with the Revolutionery War and the Civil War where many pivitol battles were fought to preserve the union.
Winchester has been home to George Washington, Patsy Cline, Admiral Richard Byrd and Pultizer prize winning author Willa Cather. The area is at the cross roads of major highways which have contributed to its comercial and manufacturing growth since pre-colonial days. Feel free to contact me online for further info on the area via

Cities are not part of counties - 2/21/2008
Virginia, the Old Dominion, follows the old English distinction between cities and counties. A city in Virginia is not part of a county and a county has no jurisdiction over a city. This is unique in the United States. Under old English common law, a county was the area controlled by an Earl (English equivalent to a Count). A city was granted a Royal charter which placed it directly under the protection of the Crown with special privileges. A county police officer has no authority in a city and vice versa (except in the case of "hot" pursuit).
A Virginia city is granted its charter by the General Assembly (the oldest democratic legislative body in the new world). Cities can petition the General Assembly to annex part of a neighboring county but not the opposite.
To complicate matters, there are cities and counties with the same name that have no relationship with each other (the City of Richmond is about 50 miles from the County of Richmond).
