Virginia The State

 

The Commonwealth of Virginia is located in the eastern United States.  It is the home of the first English settlement in North America and was named after Queen Elizabeth I (the Virgin Queen) of England.  The state produced many revolutionaries critical to the success of the American Revolution. Among them were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, who all went on to become four of the first five presidents of the United States.  Virginia entered the Union as the tenth of the original thirteen states in 1788.  Virginia later hosted several decisive battles during the American Civil War and is home to Richmond, one of the formal capitals of the Confederacy.
