The County of Patrick was formed in 1791, and is currently home to 19,700 citizens with Town of Stuart serving as the county seat. One third of Patrick County is in the rolling Piedmont plateau and the remaining two-thirds in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains where the Blue Ridge Parkway forms the County's western border with Carroll and Floyd Counties to the north.
