== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Rockbridge County is strongly Republican in most elections.
* Glasgow has had issues with flooding, notably during Hurricane Camille in 1969. As a result of flooding concerns, the Balcony Falls Dam (just east of the confluence of the James and Maury rivers) was removed in 1973.
* East Lexington is mostly an extension of Lexington. The amenities it includes serving the Lexington area can be found in the city's bio.
* Goshen is known for hosting Goshen Scout Reservation, one of the largest Boy Scout camps in America.
* Near Collierstown is Rockbridge Pokemon Camp, a year-round camp for trainers' Pokemon that has two peak seasons - Summer and Winter. It is the largest camp for Pokemon in the state of Virginia.
* Cyrus McCormick invented the reaper near Steeles Tavern.
* Slaves were far fewer in Rockbridge County than in many parts of Virginia, and, thus, the anti-slavery movement was stronger in Rockbridge than in many other counties of Virginia. For instance, several faculty members at Washington College (now Washington and Lee University) vigorously opposed slavery. However, many of the wealthiest residents of Rockbridge County owned slaves and passed down those slaves to their widows and children.
