By HENKY GANNETT.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE.

Virginia is one of tho easternmost States of the Union. It lies on 

the Atlantic seaboard between latitudes 36° 30' and 39° 30' and longitudes 75° and 84°. Its limits are very irregular, except on the south, 

and even there the boundary, though nominally a parallel of latitude, 

is actually by no means such a line.

From the Atlantic Ocean, just above the parallel of 38°, the boundary crosses the peninsula known as the Eastern Shore, which separates 

Chesapeake Bay from the Atlantic, in a direction south of west. 

Then, after a sinuous course among islands fringing the west coast of 

this peninsula, it crosses Chesapeake Bay to a point on the south side 

of the mouth of Potomac River. It follows the south bank of the 

Potomac at low-water line up to Harpers Ferry, where the river cuts 

through the Blue Ridge. Here the boundary leaves the river and makes 

a generally southwest course, with several jogs to the northwest, to a 

point near the head of the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy. From this point 

it follows a fairly constant southwest course, most of the way along the 

summit of Pine Mountain, to Cumberland Gap. Here it turns sharply 

to the east along a parallel which was originally intended to be 36° 30' 

north latitude. The line in reality, however, is from 2 to 6 minutes 

north of that parallel. This general eastern course it follows to the 

Atlantic coast.

Virginia was one of the original thirteen States. It adopted the 

Constitution on June 25, 1T88. As admitted it comprised not only 

its present area but West Virginia and Kentitck}^. Kentucky was 

set off and admitted as an independent State June 1, 1792. During 

the civil war the counties forming what is now the State of West Virginia were admitted to the Union as an independent State, the admission taking effect June 19,1863.

In 1791 the State ceded to the General Government a tract of country 

lying south of the Potomac and forming what is now the county of 

Alexandria, Va., as a portion of the District of Columbia, but in 1846

Congress re-ceded 'this area to the State. The gross area of Virginia 

as at present constituted is 42,450 square miles, of which 40,125 is 

land area, the remainder' consisting of land-locked bays and harbors, 

Drummond Lake, and rivers.

The topography is varied. Along the coast and extending for a 

varying distance inland the surface is low, being in few places over 

200 feet above tide, and along the immediate coast much of the land is 

marshy. The rivers in this part of the State have the form of estuaries, are broad, with little current, and all streams of any magnitude 

are tidal. This region, common^ known as the Coastal Plain, is 

covered with soft Cretaceous and Tertiaiy rocks. Within it, in the 

southeast corner of the State, is the great Dismal Swamp, reaching 

an elevation nowhere more than 22 feet above mean sea level, and it 

is an almost impassable jungle of canebrake. In its center and upon 

its highest ground is Drummond Lake, an area of water 5 square 

miles in extent, without affluents, but drained by two or three artificial 

ditches.'

The Coastal Plain is terminated on the west by what is called the 

"fall line." This is in the narrow zone in which the granitic rocks 

lying to the west pass below tide level. Over this fall line the streams 

from the Potomac to the south boundary of the State pass in a succession of rapids or falls due to the ledges of hard rock in the stream beds. 

This line is crossed by the Potomac at Georgetown, by the Rappahannock at Fredericksburg, and by the James at Richmond. The mills 

at Manchester, opposite Richmond on the James, are run by water 

power from the rapids at this point.

Above the fall line is what is known as the Piedmont Plateau, a 

region in the main composed of metamorphic rocks, largely granite 

and allied rocks. This region is higher than the Coastal Plain, and 

the relief increases westward. The gorges of the streams become 

deeper and occasional short ridges appear, outliers of the Blue Ridge.

The Blue Ridge is the principal eastern range of the Appalachian 

Mountain system. It is crossed by the Potomac at Harpers Ferry, 

and from that point it extends southwestward, crossing the south 

boundary of the State in longitude 80° 50'. At Harpers Ferry it has a 

height of about 1,200 feet, but it increases southwestward, reaching 

3,374 feet in Mount Marshall, 4,031 feet in Stonyman, and 4,001 feet in 

the Peaks of Otter. Farther southwest it has a plateau-like character, 

with a steep descent to the southeast and a gentle slope to the northwest. It is cut through by several streams, as stated above by the 

Potomac at Harpers Ferry, and by the James and the Roanoke.

West of the Blue Ridge lies the Appalachian Valley, whose northern part is drained toward the northeast by the Shenandoah, a branch 

of the Potomac, farther south by the headwaters of the James and the
GANNKTT.] . OAZETTEEB OF VIRGINIA. 7

Roanoko, by New River, one of the principal sources of the Kanawha, 

which flows northwestward to the Ohio, and by the various branches 

of the liolston, which is one of the chief sources of Tennessee River. 

This valley is composed of many smaller valleys, separated by narrow, 

sinuous ridges, trending in the general direction of the main valle}r, 

These ridges are cut through at frequent intervals by streams, which 

thus pass from one secondary valley to another.

The highest point in the State is Mount Rogers, on the Blue Ridge, 

near the.southern boundary.

The average elevation of the State above sea level is 950 feet. The 

areas between different zones of altitude are as follows:

3,000 to 4,000 feet........................................................ 600

The principal rivers of the State, after the Potomac, which can 

scarcely be said to belong to it, although it serves as an important 

means of communication and drains a considerable area, are the Rappahannock, the James, which is navigable nearly to Richmond, and the 

Roanoke, which is parti}7 within the State, but is not navigable within 

its limits. The coast is everywhere low, that facing the Atlantic is 

sandy, and much of it is bordered by sand bars. The principal ports 

are Norfolk and Newport News, both with good harbors opening upon 

the foot of Chesapeake Bay.

Virginia lies within the temperate zone, in the region of the prevailing westerly winds. The mean annual temperature ranges from 

50° in the northern and western or mountainous parts to 60° in the 

Coastal Plain and the Piedmont region. The annual rainfall, which is 

fairly well distributed through the year, ranges from 40 to 60 inches, 

most of the Coastal Plain and the Piedmont region having a rainfall 

between 45 and 50 inches, while in the mountains the precipitation is 

considerably greater.

Virginia was originally forested over nearly all of its area, but 

through clearing the land for cultivation and the cutting of timber for 

various economic purposes the amount of merchantable timber remaining is comparatively small. No estimate of it has, however, been 

made.

Virginia was one of the first States of the Union to be settled, and 

at the time of the first census, taken in 1790, it had a population of 

nearly three-fourths of a million, being at that time the most populous

n Decrease, due to the loss of West Virginia.

The population is given for the State as it existed at the time of the 

census that is, up to 1860 it included West Virginia, while since that 

time it includes only what is now within its limits. The rate of 

increase, however, has been computed upon the population which 

existed within the present limits of the State. In 1900, with a population of 1,854,184:, it was the seventeenth State in number' of inhabitants. Of the total population, only 14.6 .per cent were found in cities 

having a population of 8,000 or more, and the remaining 85.4 per cent, 

or about six-sevenths of all the inhabitants, are classed under this definition as rural. This proportion of rural population is much greater 

than that of the country at large.

There are ten cities in the State each having a population exceeding 

8,000. They are as follows:

GANNETT.] GAZETTEER OF VIRGINIA. 9

The State is divided into 100 counties. These with their areas and 

populations will be found in the general alphabetical list following.

In 1900 the population was very nearly equally divided between 

the sexes, the males constituting 49.9 per cent and the females 50.1 per 

cent. As to color, the proportions are 64.3 per cent white and 35.6 

per cent colored. The colored are practically all negroes, as the number of Chinese, Japanese, and Indians is trifling. The white race 

increased in the decade between 1890 and 1900 at the rate of 16.9 percent, while the negroes increased at the rate of only 4 per cent, owing 

to a movement of the negro population away from the State, probably 

southward. The population is nearly all of native birth, there being 

99 per cent born in the United States and 1 per cent born abroad.

Of the total number of persons 10 years of age or more 22.9 per 

cent were unable to read, the most of them being negroes. Of the 

whites 10 years of age and over, only 11.1 per cent were illiterate. 

Of persons of school age that is, between 5 and 20 years, 42 per cent 

attended school.

The total number of persons engaged in gainful occupations was 

48.6 per cent of the entire population 10 years of age and over; that 

is to say, of this class, nearly one-half were engaged in gainful occupations. Of this class of wage-earners 45.3 per cent were engaged in 

agriculture, 3.2 per cent in professional pursuits, 23.6 per cent in 

domestic and other personal service, 11.2 per cent in trade and transportation, and 16.7 per cent in manufactures and mining. It.thus 

appears that agriculture is the principal occupation of the people of 

the State, the number engaged in it being nearly one-half, of all the 

wage-earners, and nearly twice as great as the number engaged in any 

other pursuit.

Virginia is preeminently an agricultural State, although it has some 

manufactures of importance. Inl900the numberof farms was 167,886, 

of which 73.3 per cent, or nearly three-fourths, were occupied by white 

farmers, while the remainder, 26.7 per cent, were occupied by negroes. 

As to tenure, 69.3 per cent, or nearly seven-tenths, of the farms in the 

State were owned by their occupants, 9.9 per cent were rented for a 

cash rental, and 20.8 per cent were rented for a share of the products. 

A much larger proportion' of the negro farmers were tenants than of 

the white farmers, and as a rule the negro tenants pay their rent by a 

share of the product.

The total area of farms was 19,907,883 acres. The average size of 

farms was 118.6 acres, being considerably less than the average of the 

United States. The total amount of improved land was 10,094,805 acres, 

or little more than one-half the total area of farms, arid 39.3 per cent 

of the total area of the State; in other words, about two-fifths of the 

State was under cultivation.

The value of all farm property was $323,515,997. This includes the
10 GAZETTEEK OF VIRGINIA. [BOLL.232,

the value of the lands, buildings, live stock, implements, machinery, 

etc. in short, the total farming capital. The average of this per 

farm was $1,927. The total value of the products of the farms was 

$86,548,545. This is between 26 and 27 per cent of the farming 

capital.

The following table shows the number of different classes of livestock upon farms in the State:

In the product of tobacco this State is exceeded only by Kentucky 

and North Carolina, and the excess of the product of the latter State 

over Virginia is but trifling.

As a manufacturing State, Virginia does not take high rank, but 

with her rich deposits of excellent coking coal and of iron, it is probable 

that manufacturing will greatly increase in future years.' General 

statistics of the manufacturing industry in 1900 are set forth in the following table:

In 1902 the State included 3,832 miles of railway, or 9.55 miles for 

each 100 square miles, and 19.98 miles for each 10,000 inhabitants. 

The railways of the State are, in the main, included in the five following 

systems: Southern, Chesapeake and Ohio, Atlantic Coast Line, Norfolk and Western, and Baltimore and Ohio.

The principal mineral products are coal and iron ore, both of which 

are found chienV in the southwestern mountainous portion of the State. 

The coal production in 1901 was 2,725,873 short tons, and the amount

of coke produced was 907,130 short tons. In the States of Virginia

and West Virginia there were produced in the same j^ear 925,394 

long tons of iron ore. The production of Virginia can not be given 

separately. There were smelted within the State of Virginia in that 

year 443,062 long tons of pig iron. Besides the aboye,-4,275 tons of 

manganese ore were mined.
