John Marlow Plaza: Honoring a Legacy That Shaped Front Royal

July 2025 | Front Royal, Virginia:

A new dedicatory sign is set to be installed at the heart of downtown Front Royal, marking an important tribute to a man whose vision helped shape the community—Mr. John Marlow.

As the former Mayor of Front Royal and founder of Marlow Auto Group, Mr. Marlow played a pivotal role in revitalizing the downtown area during the 1980s. Most notably, he championed the restoration of the town’s iconic gazebo, transforming the space into a vibrant gathering point for families, festivals, and community traditions.

Now officially named John Marlow Plaza, this beloved downtown area stands as a permanent reminder of his impact, leadership, and deep love for the town he helped flourish. The new sign will share that story with generations to come.

We’re honored to see this tribute move forward, and we’re proud to carry forward the same commitment to community, integrity, and lasting relationships that Mr. Marlow believed in from the very beginning.
