Virginia Counties

by Vishul Malik



Virginia, officially the Commonwealth of Virginia (situated in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern region of the US), has 95 counties and 39 independent cities. For census purposes, these independent cities are considered county-equivalents. Both the state’s capital (Richmond) and the largest city in the state (Virginia Beach) are independent cities that are county-equivalents themselves. Check this Virginia County Map which provides the location of all counties on the Virginia Map.
