Condados y ciudades de Virginia por año de establecimiento

La Mancomunidad de Virginia está dividida en 95 condados, junto con 38 ciudades independientes que se consideran equivalentes a condados a efectos del censo. El mapa de este artículo, tomado del sitio oficial de la Oficina del Censo de los Estados Unidos, incluye a Clifton Forge y Bedford como ciudades independientes. Esto reflejó la realidad política en el momento del Censo de 2000. Sin embargo, desde entonces, ambos han optado por volver al estado de ciudad. En Virginia, las ciudades son niveles de gobierno equivalentes a los condados, pero los pueblos son parte de los condados. Para algunos condados, con fines estadísticos, la Oficina de Análisis Económico combina las ciudades independientes con el condado del que alguna vez formó parte (antes de que se promulgara la legislación que creaba ciudades independientes en 1871).

Muchos asientos de condado no son políticamente parte de los condados a los que sirven; según la ley de Virginia, todos los municipios incorporados como ciudades son ciudades independientes y no forman parte de ningún condado. Algunas de las ciudades en el área de Hampton Roads (Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Newport News, Hampton y Suffolk) se formaron a partir de un condado completo. Estas ciudades ya no son cabeceras de condado, ya que los condados dejaron de existir una vez que las ciudades se formaron por completo, pero son funcionalmente equivalentes a los condados. También en Virginia, una sede de condado puede ser una ciudad independiente rodeada por el condado del cual es el centro administrativo, pero no forma parte del mismo; por ejemplo, la ciudad de Fairfax es la sede del condado de Fairfax y está completamente rodeada por el condado de Fairfax, pero la ciudad es políticamente independiente del condado.

Hay 38 ciudades independientes, que se consideran equivalentes a condados a efectos del censo. Muchos pueblos son tan grandes como las ciudades, pero no están incorporados como ciudades y están situados dentro de un condado o condados principales. Siete ciudades independientes tenían en 2020 una población de menos de 10 000 habitantes y la más pequeña, Norton, tenía una población de solo 3687. En 2020, las ciudades más grandes fueron Leesburg (con 48 250 habitantes) y Blacksburg (44 826). Otros seis pueblos también tenían poblaciones de más de 10.000 personas. Para obtener una lista completa de estas ciudades, consulte la Lista de ciudades de Virginia. Para conocer los principales centros de población no incorporados, consulte la Lista de comunidades no incorporadas en Virginia.

Las ciudades independientes de Virginia fueron clasificadas por la Asamblea General de Virginia en 1871 como ciudades de primera clase y ciudades de segunda clase. La Constitución de Virginia de 1902 definió las ciudades de primera clase como aquellas que tenían una población de 10,000 o más según la enumeración del último censo, mientras que las ciudades de segunda clase eran aquellas que tenían una población de menos de 10,000. Las ciudades a las que anteriormente se les había otorgado una carta de ciudad, pero que no tenían la población requerida, tenían su estatus protegido. La segunda clase no tenía un tribunal de registro y debían compartir el costo de ese tribunal con su condado adyacente y también compartían el costo de tres funcionarios constitucionales de ese tribunal, generalmente, el secretario, el abogado del estado libre asociado y el alguacil, y esos funcionarios compartidos se presentaron a las elecciones tanto en la ciudad como en el condado. Se requería que al menos dos funcionarios constitucionales, el tesorero y el comisionado de ingresos, fueran elegidos únicamente por los residentes de la ciudad. La distinción entre ciudades de primera y segunda clase terminó con la Constitución de Virginia de 1971. Sin embargo, las ciudades que fueron clasificadas como ciudades de segunda clase en el momento de la adopción de la Constitución de Virginia de 1971 fueron autorizadas a continuar compartiendo su sistema judicial y tres funcionarios constitucionales. con el condado adyacente. A partir de 2003, 14 de las ciudades independientes de Virginia conservan estas características.

Hay varios condados y ciudades que tienen el mismo nombre, pero están separados políticamente. Estos actualmente incluyen Fairfax, Franklin, Richmond y Roanoke. En el pasado también incluían a Norfolk y Alexandria, cuyos condados cambiaron sus nombres, aparentemente para terminar con la confusión; así como Bedford, donde una ciudad estuvo rodeada por un condado del mismo nombre desde 1968 hasta 2013, cuando la ciudad volvió al estado de ciudad. Una ciudad y un condado que comparten un nombre pueden no tener ninguna relación geográfica. Por ejemplo, el condado de Richmond no está cerca de la ciudad de Richmond, y el condado de Franklin está aún más lejos de la ciudad de Franklin.

Más condados de Virginia llevan nombres de mujeres que en cualquier otro estado.

La abreviatura postal de Virginia es VA y su código de estado FIPS es 51.
