Vanderpool (also Galltown, Gaul Town, or Woodsborough) is an unincorporated community in Highland County, Virginia, United States. Vanderpool is located 3.8 miles (6.1 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]
