This area was once the camping grounds for Shawnee Indians. Pennsylvania Quakers came to settle here in 1792. In the mid-1700's Frederick County became the military and political training ground for George Washington, who came here at the age of sixteen to survey the lands. Winchester was also a strategic prize of great importance during the Civil War. In Confederate hands it was a serious threat to the Union armies' supply lines en-route to Richmond. Winchester and Frederick County became the scene of six battles during the Civil War, and the city itself changed flags approximately 70 times during the 4-year conflict ~ it is said, 13 times in one day.
Each Spring Winchester plays host for four days to over 250,000 visitors who witness the famous Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival, which is held the first few days in May.
Winchester has long been known as the "Apple Capital", surrounded by vast orchards, and constitutes one of the largest apple export markets of the nation and the largest apple-producing area in Virginia.
