Which city sits on the James River and serves as the capital of Virginia?
Correct Answer:
Richmond
Explanation:
Think about where Virginia’s government sits today and which city lies along the James River. Richmond is that city: it is the state capital and is located on the James River, a historic waterway that helped with trade and movement in the past. Virginia’s capital was moved to Richmond in the late 1700s from Williamsburg, so Richmond is the current capital. Williamsburg was once the capital and is on the James River too, but it’s no longer the capital. Charlottesville and Roanoke are not on the James River and aren’t the state capital.
