CENTRAL VIRGINIA
Central Virginia extends from just east of the fall line to the west
through the capital city of Richmond and on to Charlottesville in the
foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Large sections of the area are
peaceful and rural. South of Richmond are farms producing peanuts and
cotton, while west of Richmond, hay and corn are grown.
Richmond has been the capital since 1779. The capitol's design was influenced
by Thomas Jefferson and is the home for the oldest representative government in the New
World. State agencies surround the Capitol Square, but Richmond's strong economy is
also supported by medical science and technology, manufacturing, education, finance,
distribution and business services. Richmond provides a rich quality of life with myriad
opportunities to enjoy the arts, historical sites and museums, nightlife, and recreational
pursuits. Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Virginia are both in
Central Virginia as well as other public and private colleges and universities.
