Hydraulic Cylinder & Hose Repair in Roanoke, VA

Roanoke began as a small 19th-century farming community known as Big Lick, named after the natural salt deposits that attracted wildlife and early settlers. Its transformation began in the 1880s when the Norfolk & Western Railway chose the area as a major hub, fueling rapid growth in industry, commerce, and population. Renamed Roanoke in 1882, the city quickly became known as the “Magic City” because of its seemingly overnight expansion. Throughout the 20th century, railroads, manufacturing, and transportation shaped its economy and identity. Today, Roanoke blends its rich railroad heritage—celebrated at the Virginia Museum of Transportation—with a revitalized downtown and strong outdoor culture rooted in its location within Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.
