Virginias

 ( History Of Virginia ) 

The Virginias (sometimes also known as the two Virginias) is a region in the United States comprising the U.S. states of Virginia and West Virginia. If they were a single state (as they were until 1863), the Virginias would have a combined population of 10,425,109 as of 2020 United States census. This would give Virginia the 10th-largest population of any state, with 14,000 people less than the 9th, North Carolina. The total area of the two states is about 175,000 square kilometers (67,000 square miles).

The two states are currently politically opposites of each other. Starting in 2008, Virginia has always voted for the Democratic Party candidate and West Virginia has always voted for the Republican Party candidate in presidential elections.
