Lady Astor, first woman member of Parliament and known for her verbal sparring with Winston Churchill was born here. Today, Danville and nearby Pittsylvania County is a thriving area of about 65,000 people. Most winters are relatively short and any snowfall quickly disappears. Danville Community College also offers programs ranging from industrial work to college transfer. On a historical note, the worldwide practice of decorating evergreens with handmade symbols of Jesus, known as Chrismon , originated here.
Patriotism abounds here and people are quite self sufficient.
If you have a small town background, you'll find we have values like yours.
