List of counties in Virginia. The Commonwealth of Virginia is divided into 95 counties, which, along with 38 independent cities, form the primary political and administrative subdivisions of the state. These counties were established over centuries, from the original eight shires formed in 1634 in the Colony of Virginia to the creation of Bland County in 1880. Virginia's counties exhibit great diversity in geography, from the Appalachian Mountains in the west to the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean coastline, and play a crucial role in local governance, public education through systems like Fairfax County Public Schools, and historical preservation at sites such as Colonial Williamsburg.

List of counties by year of establishment

Virginia's counties were created in distinct historical periods, beginning with the eight Shires of Virginia established by the House of Burgesses in 1634: Accomack, Charles City, Elizabeth City, Henrico, James City, Warwick River, Warrosquyoake (later Isle of Wight), and York. Many counties in the Piedmont region, such as Albemarle (1744) and Amherst (1761), were formed during the colonial era under royal governors like William Gooch. Following American Independence, western expansion led to the creation of counties like Kanawha (1789, now in West Virginia) and Lee (1793). The last county formed was Bland in 1880, after the American Civil War and the creation of West Virginia.
