List of towns in Virginia

This is a complete list of towns in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. An incorporated town in Virginia is the equivalent of a city in most other states, i.e. a municipality which is part of a county. Incorporated cities in Virginia are independent jurisdictions and separate from any county. As of 2016, there are 190 incorporated towns,[1] some of which are more populous than many independent cities, but are not incorporated as cities and are therefore situated within a parent county or counties.

New towns may be incorporated but must have a minimum population of 1,000 residents. Cities with populations of less than 50,000 are eligible to become towns through reversion.[2] The newest town and newest former town are Bedford in Bedford County, which ceased to be an independent city in 2013, and Columbia in Fluvanna County, which disincorporated in 2016.[3] For a complete list of independent cities, see List of cities in Virginia.
