Living in Virginia

Once famous for its agricultural products, Virginia's role in the economy has drastically changed. In North Virginia, high-tech industries including computer chip manufacturing and software development have helped modernize the nation. Boasting close proximity to Washington, D.C. and holding a number of government facilities, Alexandria and Arlington are popular cities for government workers to live in. Norfolk holds the world's largest naval base, meaning a substantial military population, and has many large private shipping operations.
