Sweeping from the south-central portion of the state to the south-eastern shorelines, the Fourth Congressional District is home to major agricultural areas including large peanut and corn fields, beautiful coastal waterways like the Chesapeake Bay and the Dismal Swamp Canal, and one of the largest military installations in the state. The Fourth District covers one of Virginia’s most diverse regions.

The district includes the City of Chesapeake, known for its meandering waterways, the historical City of Petersburg, as well as portions of the state capital of Richmond.

The state of Virginia is rich in history, and the Fourth District is no exception. Whether you’re in the bustling urban areas or the rolling rural farmland, you are sure to encounter people and places that are proud to carry on the legacy and history of Virginia.
