Virginia is for lovers, and it's easy to understand why: You can't help but love the Commonwealth. From its majestic mountains along the Blue Ridge to the fertile piedmont region and east to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Coast, Virginia is a treasure. No wonder the first permanent English settlers came to Virginia back in 1607. No wonder four of the first U.S. Presidents were so proud to call Virginia home. Discover Virginia's incredibly rich history while savoring the bounty of her fertile orchards, fields and waterways. Come to Virginia and fall in love.
