Welcome Lynne to Virginia and any others. I know that Virginia (or any place new) can be confusing. I hope you enjoy it here. I have lived here all my life and would be happy to answer any questions about VA (if I know the answer) that you or someone else may have. In my job I use the list below for all the counties, cities & town in Virginia. (Sorry I don't work at the Courthouse.) Remember, all cities in Virginia are independent of the counties. In other words, you will not find a city within county boundaries. Here is a site that I think everyone should have bookmark. <A HREF="http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html">USGS Mapping Info: GNIS US &Territories Data Base Query Form </A> It has been a great help to me. Hope this has been some useful information to you or others on this list. Janet Spotsylvania, VA COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA 1. Accomack 49. King & Queen 2. Albemarle 50. King William 3. Alleghany 51.
