Gourt Home::Gourt :: List of counties in Virginia
The Commonwealth of Virginia is divided into 95 counties and 39 independent cities, which are considered county-equivalents for census puposes. Note that the map in this article, taken from the official United States Census Bureau site, includes Clifton Forge as an independent city. This reflected the political reality at the time of the 2000 Census. However, in 2001, Clifton Forge relinquished its city charter and reincorporated as a town. In Virginia, municipalities incorporated as towns are included in counties. For some counties, the Bureau of Economic Analysis combines any independent cities with the county that once part of that county until 1871 for statistical purposes.
