Town of Independence History
The Town of Independence came into being in 1850 as the
settlement of a dispute about where to locate the county seat. At that
time, a controversy arose between the people of Old Town and people of
the Elk Creek area. Each group wanted the County seat in its area. The
final decision, made by three commissioners from adjacent counties, was
to locate on the site favored by a group of "independents" and to call
the town Independence. These commissioners hiked to the top of Point
Lookout Mountain and looked down into a grove of trees where 5 streams
met and decided that would be the site for the new town. Independence is
located 15 miles west of Galax, 40 miles east of Marion, 29 miles south
of Wytheville, and 10 miles north of Sparta, North Carolina. The town
provides water, sewer, police, and garbage services.
The population in 2000 was 971. Independence is an incorporated town
with a Mayor/Council form of government
Virginia State Parks
Natural Tunnel
State Park
The Commonwealth of Virginia acquired the tunnel and 100 surrounding
acres in 1967 from the Natural Tunnel Chasm and Caverns Corp. to
establish Natural Tunnel State Park. Approximately 750 additional
acres were later acquired and the park opened in 1971.
Natural Tunnel, called the "Eighth Wonder of the World" by William
Jennings Bryan, has been attracting sightseers to the mountains of
southwestern Virginia for more than 100 years. Today it is the focal
point of Natural Tunnel State Park, a park which offers visitors not
only spectacular sights but also swimming, camping, picnicking,
hiking, a visitor center, an amphitheater and interpretive programs.
The creation of Natural Tunnel began more than a million years ago in
the early glacial period when groundwater bearing carbonic acid
percolated through crevices and slowly dissolved surrounding limestone
and dolomite bedrock. Then, what is now Stock Creek was probably
diverted underground to continue carving the tunnel slowly over many
centuries. The walls of the tunnel show evidence of prehistoric life,
and many fossils can be found in the creek bed and on tunnel walls.
Location: Natural Tunnel State Park is in Scott County, approximately
13 miles north of Gate City and 20 miles north of Kingsport, Tenn.. To
get there, from I-81, take U.S. 23 North to Gate City (approximately
20 miles). Take State Route 871 and go one mile east to park entrance.
Wilderness
Road State Park was purchased in 1993; the park is approximately
200 acres that lie astride the "Wilderness Road." Wilderness Road was
carved by Daniel Boone in 1775 to open America’s first western
frontier. Most notable in the park are the Karlan Mansion, built in
the 1870s, and Martin's Station, a replica of a fort built there in
1775. Click here to visit the Friends of Wilderness Road's website,
which provides details about the fort.
Karlan Mansion is unfurnished but available for rent for special
events. Bikes can be rented to ride the Wilderness Road Trail that
passes through the park. The park also has a self-guided hiking trail
as well as interpretive and environmental educational programs. Snacks
and other merchandise are available seasonally at the Wilderness Road
Outpost, located by Wilderness Road Trail.
Location: At the intersection of Routes 58 and 923, five miles west of
Ewing, Va., and six miles east of Cumberland Gap National Historical
Park, Middlesboro, Ky.
