Virginia counties and cities by year of establishment. The Commonwealth of Virginia is divided into 95 counties, along with 38 independent cities that are considered county-equivalents for census purposes, totaling 133 second-level subdivisions. In Virginia, cities are co-equal levels of government to counties, but towns are part of counties.
Incorporated cities in Virginia are independent jurisdictions and separate from any county. As of 2022 [update] , there are 189 incorporated towns and 227 municipalities, [ 1 ] 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.
