Virginia

 is a U.S. state on the Atlantic Coast of the Southern United States. Virginia is nicknamed the "Old Dominion" and sometimes the "Mother of Presidents" because it is the birthplace of eight U.S. presidents. The geography and climate of the state are shaped by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay, which are home to much of its flora and fauna. The capital of the Commonwealth is Richmond; Virginia Beach is the most populous city and Fairfax County the most populous political subdivision. The state population is nearly eight million.

In the continuity of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, Virginia was the birth place of the vampire known as Darla. In the year 1609, Darla was living in Virginia Colony when she fell gravely ill. A vampire Master approached her on her death bed and transformed her into a vampire.

Virignia is the site of the town of Mystic Falls - a fictional location featured in the CW Network television series The Vampire Diaries.
