The Town of Orange, situated amidst rolling landscapes and spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, serves as the seat for Orange County and its business center and is a great place to visit, live and work. Orange is centrally located, approximately 70 miles from the state capital of Richmond, 83 miles from the nation's capital, Washington, D.C., 27 miles from Charlottesville, and 35 miles from Fredericksburg.
The beautiful countryside surrounding the Town of Orange is dotted with attractions for visitors to the region – antique shops, historical ruins, architecturally significant churches and houses, museums, battlefields, wineries and orchards. Downtown Orange's historic commercial structures and friendly, inviting shops are welcoming visitor destinations.
The Town of Orange is named in honor of William IV, Prince of Orange. The Town became Orange County's judicial seat in 1749 when Culpeper County was cut off making the previous courthouse location at Raccoon Ford very far from the center of the County. The present courthouse was constructed in 1858. The Town was incorporated in 1872. Although fire destroyed much of the town in 1908, many buildings from the 1800's still remain. The Town remains the county seat, as well as the commercial and retail center of the county.
