Shenandoah: In Virginia, USA — Not Ireland

Clear Distinction

Shenandoah is not in Ireland. It refers to:

• Shenandoah Valley – Great Appalachian Valley segment in Virginia and West Virginia
• Shenandoah National Park – Skyline Drive, Blue Ridge Mountains, VA
• Town of Shenandoah, VA – Page County, along Shenandoah River
• Shenandoah River – 55-mile tributary of the Potomac

Possible Confusion

Ireland has the River Shannon (longest river), and place names like Shanagolden, Shanagarry—phonetically similar but unrelated.
