About Shawsville

Shawsville is a quiet mountain community in eastern Montgomery County, set right along Route 460 between Christiansburg and Roanoke. For newcomers, it offers a scenic, rural feel with plenty of elbow room while keeping you within an easy drive of shopping, dining, and major employers in the New River Valley. The town grew up around the railroad and turnpike in the 1850s, and you can still see pieces of that past in the historic district and the old 1910 Bank of Shawsville building.
