About Grundy, Virginia

Grundy is a town in Buchanan County, Virginia, United States, an area located within the Appalachian Mountains region. The present courthouse dates from 1905 and has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982. Since the late 19th century, this area depended on coal mining as the basis of its economy. The decline in mining resulted in a loss of jobs and population. (Wikipedia)
