Brockroad is an unincorporated community named after a local road in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, in the United States.[1]
Brockroad is not an urban center and thus has no major shopping centers. The town lies within the Piedmont region of Virginia.
The Brockroad area was the location of many battles fought during the American Civil War, including the battles of Battle of Chancellorsville and The Wilderness.
