in 1671, the new river – one of the world's oldest rivers – was discovered by early settlers of german, french, scot-irish and english descent. along the river, there were several native american encampments, and conflicts were common between those tribes and the early settlers. as settlers began moving into present-day christiansburg, they discovered that area was also inhabited by shawnee and other native american tribes.









































in the late 1600s, dutch priest friar hans arrived in the region, which led to the area being named hans meadow in the early 1700s.
