About Town of Woodstock
Town of Woodstock is a town in Shenandoah County in the state of Virginia in the United States. It is the county seat and has a population of nearly 6,000. Woodstock boasts a historic, charming, safe and bustling downtown, and it is also the center for retail, professional services, healthcare, and dining for the surrounding area.
Woodstock attracts a mixture of young families and retirees due to its close proximity to Washington D.C. and other Northern Virginia communities. And while many individuals still commute to Northern Virginia for employment, Woodstock has experienced increasing interest from young professionals, noting the friendly, small-town environment, recreational amenities in the area, and diverse housing stock.
The quality of life Woodstock offers surpasses that of any town of comparable size and includes festivals, concerts, children’s activities and events, and a quality park system. The North Fork of the Shenandoah River runs on the east side of Woodstock, along with Seven Bends State Park, and Shenandoah National Park, and the George Washington National Forrest surrounds the quaint town. There are also numerous wineries and breweries, local artisans from potters to quilters, caverns, trails and scenic byways, kayaking, swimming, fishing, skiing, snowboarding, “pick your own” farms, farmer’s markets, plant and tree retail centers and nurseries, historic battlefields, corn mazes, geocaching, hot air balloon rides, and much more!
The Town of Woodstock operates under the council-manager form of government and has six members of council and a mayor, all of whom are elected for four year terms. Offices are located at 135 North Main Street, in Woodstock, Virginia, USA.
