A Brief History of Bedford, Virginia
Bedford County was formed in 1754
and named for the Fourth Duke of Bedford, a British
government official. In 1782, the Town of Liberty (now the
City of Bedford) was established. Originally an
agrarian-based economy, Bedford’s industrial development
began in 1880, and since that time, industrial growth has
been consistent and often fostered by the involvement of
local citizens.
In the early 1980’s the city
undertook renovation of its historic downtown district and
became one of Virginia’s first Main Street Cities.
