Bonsack takes its name from the Bonsack family, who donated land for a railroad depot in the 1850s. The area was once known for blanket mills and, in the 1920s, for its apple and peach orchards, which is why you will find street and subdivision names like The Orchards and Apricot Trail today.
Route 460 is the area's main corridor for groceries, restaurants and errands. VDOT began a roughly $32 million safety and traffic-flow project on Route 460 through Bonsack in late 2026, with work expected to continue through 2028, mostly at night. Roanoke County opened a new Bonsack fire and rescue station in 2025.
