Salem: Roanoke College and the Roanoke Valley
Salem is an independent city in the Roanoke Valley, immediately west of the City of Roanoke. The two cities share transit and economic ties but remain separate jurisdictions. Salem was established as a town in 1802 and incorporated as an independent city in 1968, ending its status as the seat of Roanoke County, though the county government remains headquartered here.
Roanoke College, a private liberal arts institution founded in 1842, anchors the city's educational identity. The college enrolls around 2,000 undergraduates and is one of the oldest Lutheran-affiliated colleges in the southern United States. Salem is also home to the Salem Memorial Ballpark, where the Salem Red Sox (a Class A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox) play in the Carolina League, and the Salem Civic Center, which has hosted regional concerts and NCAA basketball since 1967.
The Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salem is one of the older VA hospitals in the country, dating from 1934. Salem's downtown retains a compact historic streetscape, and the Salem Museum on Main Street preserves the area's history.
