History The present City of Waynesboro is derived

from a 465-acre tract purchased by Joseph

Tees from William Beverly in 1739. As a

settlement developed it acquired the name

Waynesborough as early as 1797 in honor

of Revolutionary War hero General “Mad”

Anthony Wayne. The settlement was officially

established as a town by the Virginia General

Assembly in 1801 and was incorporated as such

in 1834.

The town was raided by the Union Army in 1864

and, on March 2, 1865, the Battle of Waynesboro

occurred. The battle, which resulted in the

defeat of General Jubal Early’s Confederate

forces, was the last fought in the Shenandoah

Valley. Waynesboro was reincorporated in

Where Good Nature Comes Naturally

2

1874. In 1881, when the north-south railroad

crossed the east-west line, a new boomtown,

Basic City, was established at that junction.

For 32 years Basic City and Waynesboro existed

side-by-side but ultimately consolidated

under the name Waynesboro-Basic in 1923.

The following year the town was officially

renamed Waynesboro and experienced a surge

in industrial development that sustained

economic stability through World War II. In

1948 the town attained first-class independent

city status. Annexations at the time and in

1986 gave the City the room for expanding into

what is now present-day Waynesboro.

Some of the remaining buildings from its

early history include the Plumb House (now

a museum open for tours seasonally) and

the Coiner-Quesenbury House built in 1806,

believed to be the first brick house built in the

town, which is still standing on Main Street.
