Before 1790 wthe was a t of Montgomry, Moritgarrrer y formed in 1799 from Fincastle wtiich in turn was a ivision ol Botetourt County after 1772, Ne rn, the f lrst organized settlelnent in the region that would become Pulaski, was platted in 1809. Dublin grew up around a depot on the railrmd in the mid-19th centwy, and the Tow] of Pulaski was incorporated irr 1886. Newbern, the county seat after 1839 was succeeded by the town of aski as the center of goverrmnt in 1895, The county occupies a section of the New River Valley, a continuation of the Valley of Virginia sewrated from the Sknandoah Valley to the north by a ridge of the ALleghany Mountairts and raised up to a considerably higher elevation. The ridge, which acted as a natural barrier in the early days of settlement, runs ktween Blacksburg and g in Montgomery County and forms the eastern divide of the continental watershed. All of the runoff in Pulaski County flows with the Neba River to the Ohio River, The New River flows in a northeasterly direction above the lover third of the county before mmoing north and with its tributary to the south, the Little River, forms the line betwen Counties. The north margin of the county is bordered by the parallel ridges of Little and Big Walker Mountains, while the south is occupied by the more broken hollows and spurs of Mack's Mountain. The west center of the county is occupied by the ridge of Draper Mountain, vhich ends near tk center of the county in 3200 foot Peak Knob. The chief agricultural land lies in the rolling valley floor and the river bottom which are at an average elevation of over 2000 feet, The climte is mild with slightly higher rainfall and lower temperatures than adjacent low lying 8RaS, hitectwral, rec aski mtyis king by a, grant from the Viqinia Division of Historic fieldwork ie being pe the f im of Gibon Wors hitect , Gibfson e up the survey team, directives indicated that intensive techniwes of survey were to be utilized All of the historic resources were examimd, and those hich met Mtcessary historicsl and architectural criteria =re imluded in the surwy.

  • Cla Ytor Lake Festival Claytor Lake State
    In the Fall of 2014, FOCL was invited to partner with the local chapter of The U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary to teach a Boater/Water Safety Class at the Hensel Eckman YMCA in Pulaski. Allison Hunter, Director of the “Y”, Sharon Eifred of the Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Cheri Strenz from FOCL, developed a plan to introduce Boater and Water Safety to young children. Volunteer instructors from FOCL included, Laura Walters, Larry Bandolin, and Cheri Strenz. For six weeks, second grade students from the elementary schools in Pulaski County attend swim classes at the “Y”. One of these sessions is to teaching what a family should know before going out on a boat for the day. This includes the equipment required for boating, general rules of navigation, and how to identify and select a Coast Guard Approved life jacket. Many of these children have made numerous trips to Claytor Lake and are aware that a life jacket should be worn. Sadly, many did not know that a life jacket is required to be worn by all children 12 and under. They also learned, by trying on various sizes, that a properly fitted Coast Guard Approved lifejacket is essential to providing the proper amount of life saving protection. This critical information about boating and being around the water is important having a fun and safe day at Claytor Lake, or any other body of water. FOCL is looking forward to continued participation in this worthwhile program. This year the Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce awarded its first Non-Profit Award for outstanding work in the community at The Draper Claytor Lake Community Programs Community Lake Claytor Mercantile.
