Piedmont is located {{convert|10.4|mi|km}} northeast of Staunton, Virginia and {{convert|10.1|mi|km}} north-northwest of Waynesboro, Virginia.[2] During the American Civil War, the Battle of Piedmont between Union forces under Maj. Gen. David Hunter and Confederate forces under William E. Jones was fought on June 5, 1864 just north of Piedmont. During the battle, Jones was killed and Hunter's forces captured nearly 1,000 Confederate prisoners. The Confederate defeat near Piedmont allowed Hunter to easily occupy Staunton the next day, and threatened the Confederacy's security in the Shenandoah Valley as well as on other fronts, since it necessitated the need to detach Early's Second Corps from the main body of the Army of Northern Virginia near Petersburg, Virginia.[3] References1. ^{{cite gnis|1495091|Piedmont}} {{Augusta County, Virginia}}{{AugustaCountyVA-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Google maps | url = https://maps.google.com/maps?q=piedmont,+augusta+county,+va&hl=en&ll=38.219706,-78.902607&spn=0.09427,0.209255&sll=37.603352,-78.955994&sspn=1.520977,3.348083&hnear=Piedmont,+New+Hope,+Augusta,+Virginia+24437&t=m&z=13 | accessdate = January 17, 2013}} 3. ^{{Citation|last=National Park Service|title=Battle of Piedmont|url=http://www.nps.gov/hps/abpp/shenandoah/svs3-9.html|accessdate=January 17, 2013}} 2 : Unincorporated communities in Augusta County, Virginia|Unincorporated communities in Virginia |
