Woodstock is a town and the county seat of Shenandoah County,[5] Virginia, United States. It has a population of 5,212 according to the 2017 census.[6] Woodstock comprises 3.2 square miles of incorporated area of the town, and is located along the "Seven Bends" of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. While some tourism references list Woodstock as the fourth oldest town in Virginia,[7] the area was sparsely settled and perhaps platted in 1752 or shortly thereafter, but the town was actually established by charter in 1761. While there are a number of Virginia towns closer to the eastern seaboard that claim earlier founding dates,[8] Woodstock was one of the first towns west of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The Massanutten Military Academy is located in Woodstock, as is it the former location of the national headquarters of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. Woodstock is also home to the River Bandits of the Valley Baseball League, the Shenandoah County Public School's Central campus, and the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds.
