List of towns in Virginia explained

This is a complete list of towns in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. An incorporated town in Virginia is the equivalent of a city in most other states, i.e. a municipality which is part of a county. Incorporated cities in Virginia are independent jurisdictions and separate from any county., there are 189 incorporated towns and 227 municipalities, some of which are more populous than many independent cities, but are not incorporated as cities and are therefore situated within a parent county or counties.

New towns may be incorporated but must have a minimum population of 1,000 residents. Cities with populations of less than 50,000 are eligible to become towns through reversion.^[1] The newest town and newest former town are Bedford in Bedford County, which ceased to be an independent city in 2013, and St. Charles in Lee County, which disincorporated in 2022.^[2] For a complete list of independent cities, see List of cities in Virginia. For major unincorporated population centers, see List of unincorporated communities in Virginia.
