FAQ and Hints on Using this Website and our Features
"Articles, News & Announcements" versus "News & Announcements from the Community" Posted by highlandwebmaster (266)
Understanding the difference between our "Articles, News & Announcements" feature and "News & Announcements from the Community."
"News & Announcements from the Community" is intended to be an organized community "blog" which enables all registered users to submit and self approve for posting news and announcements on a variety of topics relevant to daily life in our local region. That feature is unmoderated, thus registered users have the flexible ability to post news and announcements relative to the topic. Submissions to that category will be "pruned" after a reasonable period of time. We will, upon request, create a new topic category or subcategory for use by any regional neighborhood or community based organization so that members of that group may readily find and post news of their organization or neighborhood.

The "Articles, News & Announcements" feature is a more moderated news area, where all articles are approved by the website moderator or a vetted contributing writer. We welcome providing serious writers the opportunity to publish articles and stories of the history and heritage of the local region. We also are open to local writers who wish to write regular columns on a variety of topics (we are open to suggestions) relevant to local readers.

    Formation of Highland County
    (excerpts from A history of Highland County, Virginia By Oren Frederic Morton - published 1911)

    The forming of Highland was one of the events which are perfectly natural. It was not so much that Pendleton and Bath were too long, although the people near their common boundary were farther from their county seats than were the people at the other extremities of those counties. The new turnpike gave the Highland area an advantage which the other sections of the two counties did not possess. The census of 1850 was to show that Highland had more...
