Virginians
Richmond's home state people
Virginians are people from or living in Virginia, a state on the Atlantic coast of the United States.
The term carries historical weight given Virginia's role as an early English colony and its prominence in American history: Virginians dominated the early presidency—Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe.
Today it refers simply to residents of the Commonwealth.
