About Middletown

Middletown is a quiet, scenic community in Virginia's northern Shenandoah Valley. With around 1,400 residents, it offers a relaxed small-town atmosphere surrounded by rolling farmland and mountain views. The town dates back to the late 1700s, and that deep history is easy to spot along historic Main Street and at neighboring Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park. Between preserved battlefield walking trails and landmarks like the historic Wayside Inn, the area maintains a rich heritage and plenty of open space.
