Keep middleburg out of this thread. It’s in the Northern Piedmont and not in  Northern Virginia.  [/quote]

This side of the Appalachian is NoVa.  Curving around to Culpeper and Fredericksburg.

Middleburg is right next to Leesburg.  It is NoVA.

Northern Virginia isn’t geographic - it’s a cultural demarcation consisting of portions of the northern Piedmont and northern tidewater regions.  And culpeper isn’t in northern Virginia and neither is Middleburg.

And “the Appalachian” isn’t a thing.  The Blue Ridge, part of the Appalachian chain, form the western boundary of the Piedmont. Past the blue ridge you have the Highlands containing the Ridge and Valley region.

There are other cultural regions, such as the Northern Neck (which if you take literally could mean anything between the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers in the whole state), northern Piedmont, south side, and many more.  Northern Virginia is one of these - not defined by in geographic terms but in cultural ones and there’s nothing culturally similar between Culpeper and Arlington.

For all intents and purposes, the western border of Northern Virginia is Route 15.
You people come from other places, tell the locals there’s no culture here, and don’t even bother learning about the local areas.

In history, Leesburg, Culpeper, Fairfax, and Alexandria had far more cultural ties because the commerce that flowed east/west from the port in Alexandria, but those ties have mostly disappeared.  Though it’s notable that Rte 7/Leesburg Pike/King St and 50/Little River Turnpike (Little river itself being an area near Middleburg)/John Mosby Highway are continuous roads connecting Winchester and Old Town.

Not relevant to this absurd pissing match about which shitty suburb is best, but it seemed like you newcomers needed to learn a bit about Virginia.[/quote]

Yes, this person knows their geography.
