About Saltville

Tucked into a scenic mountain valley along the Holston River, Saltville gets its name from the deep underground salt deposits that shaped centuries of local history. It is a quiet Southwest Virginia town with a surprisingly big backstory, spanning Ice Age fossil beds, Civil War battles, and even the chemical plant that produced rocket fuel for Apollo 11. Today, life here moves at a relaxed Appalachian pace, surrounded by green ridges, river fishing, and quiet walks along the Salt Trail.
