Welcome to Henrico

Henrico County, Virginia, stands as a testament to America's rich tapestry of history and progress. Established in 1634 as one of the eight original shires of the Virginia Colony, its roots delve deep into the early chapters of American colonization. The county's name honors Henry, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of King James I of England.
 
Prior to its official establishment, the area was home to the "Citie of Henricus," founded in 1611 by Sir Thomas Dale. This settlement, positioned strategically along the James River, was envisioned as a replacement for Jamestown due to its healthier environment and defensible location. Though the settlement faced challenges, including the devastating Powhatan attack of 1622, its legacy endures in the county's name and heritage.
 
Henrico's historical significance is further highlighted by its association with Pocahontas, who lived in the area after her marriage to John Rolfe in 1614. Her image now graces the county's seal and flag, symbolizing its deep connections to early American history.
 
The county's landscape is dotted with landmarks that narrate tales from the past. From being the site of the first English hospital in America, "Mt. Malady," established in 1612, to hosting numerous Civil War battlefields—the highest concentration in the United States—Henrico offers a journey through time for history enthusiasts.
 
Today, Henrico County seamlessly blends its historical charm with modern vitality. Encompassing 244 square miles, it is organized into five districts: Brookland, Fairfield, Three Chopt, Tuckahoe, and Varina. The county boasts award-winning schools, vibrant neighborhoods, and a thriving business climate, making it an attractive destination for families and professionals alike.
 
Whether you're exploring its storied past or engaging with its dynamic present, Henrico County offers a rich and multifaceted experience that embodies the enduring spirit of Virginia.
