Highland County also has a rich historical tradition. During the Civil War, the Battle of McDowell, a significant battle in Stonewall Jackson's 1862 Valley Campaign, was waged in Highland County.
  
Monterey was established in 1848 and was originally named Highland. It was later renamed in honor of the Mexican town where General Zachary Taylor defeated the Mexican Army during the Spanish-American War.
  
Highland County was built around the richness of its natural resources. Wool remains one of Highland's major agricultural commodities. In 1990, the county ranked third in the state in the number of sheep.
