The Old Dominion’s landscape is pretty diverse. You’ve got the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west, rolling hills in the middle, and coastal plains out east. This variety means each county has bits and pieces of it all.

When it comes to population, Fairfax County is at the top of the list. Maybe because it’s right outside Washington D.C? Either way, people move there for jobs and good schools.

On the other hand, Highland County is the least populated. It’s tucked away in the mountains, mostly farmland and forests. They call it “Virginia’s Little Switzerland” because of the scenery.

Most Populous: Fairfax County
Least Populous: Highland County

Pittsylvania County is the biggest in size, covering about 978 square miles. It’s mostly rural, with some small towns scattered around. The smallest county is Arlington County, which is only 26 square miles in size.

Largest Area: Pittsylvania County
Smallest Area: Arlington County

Virginia’s counties have a lot of history to them. James City County is the oldest in the country, dating back to 1634 when Virginia was still a colony. It also has its quirks. For example, Rappahannock County was formed because a bunch of farmers were tired of riding so far to get to court.
