“Virginia is for lovers,” an unusual but befitting slogan, is the perfect way to describe Virginia’s natural splendor, warm people and beautiful seasons. A land rich in history and everything “truly American”, Virginia has even more to offer than it’s beauty and charm.

Virginia was England’s first overseas colony and the first site of permanent English settlement in America. It is known “the Mother of Presidents” for being the birthplace of more than eight presidents. Virginia played a central role during the American revolution and more Civil War battles were fought in Virginia than in any other state. The American democracy was born in Virginia and continues to thrive today. Virginia has a good share of historic sites, such as Alexandria, Williamsburg, Mount Vernon and George Washington’s estate.

Virginia is a southern state on the Atlantic Ocean which is triangular in shape and is divided into five geographical regions. The Atlantic Coastal Plain is often called Tidewater because of the flow of water up and down the coast. Piedmont consists of rolling plains, broken up by rivers and streams. The Blue Ridge and Appalachian Ridge and Valley are rich with deep ravines and unbelievably high peaks while the Appalachian Plateau is covered with rivers, streams and forests.

Virginia’s climate is mild compared to that of other states. It is primarily humid subtropical throughout the state, except in the mountainous areas of the Blue Ridge, where it becomes humid continental. Virginia has hot and humid summers and mild wet winters.Temperatures generally decrease from southeast to northwest. The southeastern Coastal Plain is particularly a favorite for its extra long growing season, few very hot and very cold days and less snowfall.

How does the largest and wealthiest colony and birthplace of Southern and American culture become the “state for lovers”? The bold and provocative phrase was born in 1968 to an advertising team. Virginia is for all kinds of lovers – history lovers, mountain lovers, beach lovers, etc. Whatever your passion, surely you will find your love in Virginia.
