Warren County is located in the Shenandoah Valley of northwestern Virginia. It is bounded by Frederick and Clarke Counties on the north, Fauquier and Rappahannock Counties on the east, Page County to the south, and by Shenandoah County to the west.

Warren County has a total land area of 219 square miles. The rural part of the County contains 209.9 square miles and the Town of Front Royal covers 9.1 square miles.

Three factors in the County's regional setting have greatly influenced growth and development allowing Warren County real estate to become highly desired. The first factor is its location in the Shenandoah Valley. For more than a century, the Valley has been noted for its beautiful mountains and clear streams, and has attracted many tourists and seasonal guests. Because of the ease of travel along its length, the Valley has been an important north-south transportation route since Indian times.

In 1980, a division of the duPont Corporation was established in Cedarville near Front Royal. Paints for the secondary automotive market is manufactured at this facility. In 1989, with the closing of Avtex Fibers, duPont became Warren County's largest employer.

Since 1994, the Front Royal-Warren County Economic Development Authority has successfully recruited manufacturing, distribution, hospitality and technology companies for an investment of more than $180 million and the creation of 1,400 new jobs.

Warren County has long attracted tourists and seasonal residents, who have come to the area because of its climate, accessibility to major cities, and scenic beauty. Major tourist attractions include the Shenandoah National Park, the Skyline Drive, the Shenandoah River and the Skyline Caverns.
