History
Prior to European colonization, the land upon which Timberville sits was inhabited by Indigenous peoples for thousands of years. A burial mound two feet high, built on a slight natural elevation near the left bank of the Shenandoah River, was located one mile north of Timberville. The mound was disturbed and examined in the 1890s.
The earliest white settlers of Timberville were mostly Pennsylvania Dutch who migrated to the Shenandoah Valley.
