General Information

Virginia (officially the Commonwealth of Virginia) is a state located on the east coast of the United States, in the South Atlantic region of the southern region of the United States.

Virginia borders Maryland and Washington, D.C. in the northeast, West Virginia in the northwest, Kentucky in the west, Tennessee in the southwest, and North Carolina in the southwest. The eastern boundary of the state forms the Atlantic Ocean.

History

The first permanent English colony in North America was established on the territory of the state in 1607. The colony was named Jamestown (after King James I), and the colony itself was apparently named in honor of Virgin Elizabeth I as Virginia.

In 1776, the province became one of the original thirteen founding states of the United States. Virginia was the tenth state to ratify the Constitution of the United States on June 25, 1788.

During the American Civil War, Virginia was part of the Confederacy from 1861 to 1865. Richmond was its capital, home to President Jefferson F. Davis.

As a result, the northwestern districts seceded from the state and became part of the Union in 1863 as West Virginia. Virginia itself was rejoined the Union in 1870.
