List of cities and counties in Virginia

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Commonwealth of Virginia is divided into 95 counties and 38 independent cities, which are considered county-equivalents for census purposes. Some of the cities are the same size as a county.

In Virginia, cities are separate from counties, but towns are inside counties. For a list of towns, see List of towns in Virginia.
