Check

Check is a small unincorporated community nestled in the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains of Floyd County, Virginia. Located in Floyd County, which was established in 1831 and named after Virginia politician John Floyd, the area is positioned on the high plateau of the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounded by the Little River. Check has historical roots dating back to the 1800s, with records showing C. A. Conner serving as postmaster in 1886, and the community shares Floyd County's rich heritage that began with traders, trappers and hunters in Southwest Virginia in the 18th century along the historic Trader's Path. This peaceful mountain community embodies the rural character and natural beauty that attracted counterculture residents in the 1960s and 1970s who sought to live in closer contact with nature, and today offers residents and visitors the tranquil mountain lifestyle that defines Virginia's Blue Ridge region, complete with access to outdoor recreation, traditional Appalachian culture, and the close-knit community spirit typical of Floyd County's unincorporated areas.
