The population was 147 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Highland County.[4] HistoryThe selection of Monterey as the county seat of Highland County in 1847 was associated with the blazing of the Staunton and Parkersburg Turnpike in 1838. The new town was named in commemoration of the Battle of Monterrey, Mexico (September 21–24, 1846) in which General (and future President) Zachary Taylor gained a key victory for the United States in the Mexican–American War (1846–1848).[5] Monterey is a Spanish word meaning "mountain of the king".[5][6] The GW Jeep Site, Monterey High School, and Monterey Hotel are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[7] GeographyMonterey is located at {{coord|38|24|43|N|79|34|50|W|type:city}} (38.411888, −79.580468).[8] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 0.3 square miles (0.8 km²), all of it land.[8] TransportationU.S. Route 220 and U.S. Route 250 are the main highways serving Monterey. US 220 is oriented northeast to southwest. To the southwest, the closest large city it passes through is Roanoke, while to the northeast, it is Cumberland. US 250 extends northwest to southeast, and its destinations include Staunton to the southeast and Elkins to the northwest. US 250 was built through the area in the 1840s as a portion of the historic Staunton-Parkersburg Turnpike which linked the upper Shenandoah Valley with the Ohio River.[9]Economy and tourismThe town of Monterey is heavily dependent on agriculture and on niche tourism generated from its many events and shops catering to tourists visiting for the tranquility and mountain air. The biggest festival is the Highland County Maple Festival, held on the second and third weekends of March, which brings roughly 50,000 visitors to the area.
