Vanderpool is located {{convert|3.8|mi|km}} south-southwest of Monterey, Virginia at the junction of Virginia State Route 84 and U.S. Route 220.[2] The community is situated near Vanderpool Gap, through which the Jackson River flows.[3] Before the creation of Highland County in 1847, Vanderpool was proposed to be the new county's seat, though it was defeated in favor of Monterey.[4] Vanderpool was named after the Dutch explorer John Vanderpool, who was the first man to pass through the area on horseback and discovered the Vanderpool Gap.[5][6] References1. ^{{cite gnis|1497187|Vanderpool}} {{Highland County, Virginia}}{{HighlandCountyVA-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Google maps | url = https://maps.google.com/maps?q=38%C2%B022%E2%80%B210%E2%80%B3N+79%C2%B037%E2%80%B231%E2%80%B3W&hl=en&ie=UTF8&sll=38.734804,-77.588196&sspn=1.497551,3.348083&t=h&z=16 | accessdate = 15 December 2012 }} 3. ^{{cite web|title=The National Map|url=http://viewer.nationalmap.gov/viewer/?p=default&b=base1&x=-8864025.688753627&y=4633170.088501844&l=14&v=|publisher=United States Geological Survey|accessdate=February 7, 2014}} 4. ^{{cite book|last=Morton|first=Oren Frederic|title=A History of Highland County, Virginia|year=1911|pages=114–115|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ozctAAAAYAAJ&source=gbs_navlinks_s}} 5. ^{{cite book|last=Hanson|first=Raus McDill|title=Virginia Place Names: Derivations, Historical Uses|publisher=McClure Press|year=1969|page=110|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mi8SAAAAYAAJ&source=gbs_navlinks_s}} 6. ^{{cite book|ref=Scott|last=Scott|first=Chris|title=Highland County|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|year=2008|page=10|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zO3JXirFcowC&source=gbs_navlinks_s}} 2 : Unincorporated communities in Highland County, Virginia|Unincorporated communities in Virginia |
