The Virginia General Assembly authorized WCC's creation in 1962, as a two-year branch of Virginia Tech. The school opened for its first term on September 19, 1963. WCC joined the Virginia Community College System when it was formed in 1967.
WCC has had six presidents since becoming part of the VCCS in 1967. While a branch of Virginia Tech, it was headed by a director, overseen by the parent school's president and board of visitors. Dr. Dean E. Sprinkle has been president since 2015.[3]
