Parksley was established in 1884 during the expansion of the New York, Philadelphia & Norfolk Railroad, which transformed transportation and commerce on the ESVA. The town quickly grew into a thriving railroad community, and many of its late 19th- and early 20th- century homes and commercial buildings remain today. It's well-preserved downtown reflects this rich heritage and continues to serve as the heart of the community.
