The Commonwealth of Virginia (
IPA: //) is a
Southeastern state historically considered part of the
Southern region of the
United States of America. It is named after
Queen Elizabeth I of
England, who was known as the Virgin Queen because she never married.The
Virginia Colony was the first part of the Americas to be continuously inhabited by English (following the 1707
Acts of Union, British) colonists from its founding as a European colony up to the
American Revolution. It included area explored by the 1584 expedition of Sir
Walter Raleigh along the coast of North America, and at one time it also included
Bermuda (or Virgineola). The
Virginia Company of London became incorporated as a joint stock company by a proprietary charter drawn up on
April 10,
1606. The charter granted lands stretching from approximately the 34th parallel (North Carolina) north to approximately the 45th parallel (New York) and from the Atlantic Ocean westward. The Third Charter of 1612 extended its boundaries far enough across the Atlantic to incorporate Bermuda, which the company had possessed since 1609. The
commonwealth was one of the
thirteen colonies that revolted against
British rule in the American Revolution to form the United States of America.
