The Town of Luray was established by act of General Assembly on February 6, 1812 on ten acres of land near Hawksbill Creek. Today, the growth of Luray continues to be fueled by its prime location: the ideal balance between rural scenery and travel connection.

Behind the growth and popularity of the Town of Luray lies a government of eager officials and representatives who are dedicated to maintaining and fostering the elements of economic growth and natural splendor.

Our town is always expanding yet always preserving our special heritage. As our community grows, so does our commitment to maintaining all of the rich, natural aspects around us that make our citizens proud to call Luray home.
