Shepherdstown Living

The first settlement of what is now Shepherdstown was recorded in 1730. Thomas
Shepherd obtained a land grant in 1734, and on December 23, 1762, Virginia
passed an act establishing the town of Mecklenberg, which was later renamed
Shepherdstown.

WE LOVE OUR TOWN!

Shepherd University, artists of all types, places to see, outdoor recreation,
and so much more.  It is a welcoming town with a big city mentality.  Standing
on the street, or a front porch, you could easily hear someone pass while saying
“I love this town.”
