Norton was founded in 1894 and was established as an independent city in 1954. The City of Norton is the smallest city in the state of Virginia at 7.5 square miles and is closer to seven other state capitals than to the Virginia State Capital in Richmond.
In 2011 Animal Planet's tv show "Finding Bigfoot" spent a week in Southwest Virginia filming an episode that features scenes from High Knob. After the filming, the City of Norton passed a resolution declaring their city a Sanctuary for the Bigfoot/Sasquatch, locally known as the Woodbooger. The city erected a statue and designated the Flag Rock Recreation Area a "Woodbooger Sanctuary". When walking the gravel footpath to the Flag Rock Overlook, you can't miss the giant statue of the Woodbooger creature located just beyond the parking area.
