Port Republic is an unincorporated community in Rockingham County, Virginia, United States. The Battle of Port Republic occurred there in the American Civil War. HistoryPort Republic was chartered as a town in 1802, at the confluence of the South River and the North River, which join to form the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. This point was the head of navigation on this branch of the Shenandoah,[1] and influenced the town's commercial and strategic importance.[2] By 1832 the town had a population of 160 people. Many mills were built there, the first one in 1745, because of the availability of water power, and the proximity to water transportation to the northern Shenandoah Valley and the Potomac River.[3] The Battle of Port Republic in June 1862 during Stonewall Jackson's Shenandoah Valley Campaign in the American Civil War centered on Port Republic. After the Civil War, Port Republic remained a locus of commerce and industry, with two iron foundries in operation by 1866.[3] Artifacts and documents of the town's founding and history are preserved at a museum in the town.[4] The Bogota, Haugh House, and Port Republic Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[5] References1. ^{{cite book|title=A History of Rockingham County, Virginia|author=Wayland, J.W.|date=1912|publisher=Ruebush-Elkins Company|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JCoSAAAAYAAJ|page=421|accessdate=2015-01-12}} {{Rockingham County, Virginia}}{{Coord|38|17|46|N|78|48|38|W|type:city_region:US-VA_source:GNIS-enwiki|display=title}}{{RockinghamCountyVA-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://web.jmu.edu/history/NewPortRepublic.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040928100641/http://web.jmu.edu/history/NewPortRepublic.html|archive-date=2004-09-28|dead-url=yes|title=JMU Public History: Port Republic Study|accessdate=2015-01-12|df=}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|title=A History of Rockingham County, Virginia|author=Wayland, J.W.|date=1912|publisher=Ruebush-Elkins Company|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JCoSAAAAYAAJ|page=422|accessdate=2015-01-12}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.portrepublicmuseum.org/hours.html|title=Port Republic Museum | Hours/Directions|publisher=portrepublicmuseum.org|accessdate=2015-01-12}} 5. ^{{NRISref|version=2010a}} 3 : Unincorporated communities in Rockingham County, Virginia|Unincorporated communities in Virginia|1802 establishments in Virginia |
