Conicville/Cabin Hill was founded by European, primarily Swiss (Mennonites) and Germanic immigrants, who emigrated through Pennsylvania, in the mid-1700s, to what was then Frederick County of Virginia. As population grew, Dunmore County was formed from part of Frederick County and was later renamed Shenandoah County.
