And anyone who's ever visited the Old Dominion will tell you it's true. From the majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the west to the mighty river deltas in the east, Virginia is a great green blanket cast down upon the landscape to delight us all. The Commonwealth is the grandfather of these United States. It saw the beginnings of this great country as it was hewn from the virgin timber. It saw the birth of a new nation when the English surrendered at Yorktown. And it saw the nation's rebirth when General Lee surrendered the Army of Northern Virginia at Appomattox, thus bringing the great Civil War to an end. Visitors to the Commonwealth can step back into a bygone age when those pitifully few pioneers founded Jamestown, the first English settlement in the New World. They can visit numerous Revolutionary War battlefields, and follow in the footsteps of men like Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson from Manassas to Fredericksburg, from Petersburg to Appomattox. Virginia at a Glance Nickname: The Old Dominion Motto:Sic semper tyrannis (Thus always to tyrants) Population: 6.7 million Major Cities: Arlington, Hampton-Newport News, Norfolk-Virginia Beach, Richmond, Roanoke Major Rivers: James, Rappahannock, York, Potomac and Shenandoah Capital: Richmond State Bird: Cardinal State Flower: Dogwood State Tree: Dogwood Shell: Oyster Nature lovers can hike the Appalachian Trail, explore the vast wooded expanses of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests, and drive the Blue Ridge Parkway and hundreds of miles of scenic highways.
