Richmond
About 230,000 people.
Richmond is the capital of Virginia, where the state government makes its decisions. It is an old city full of history that sits along the rushing James River.
You can spot rapids and even go rafting right in the middle of the city, explore hands-on exhibits at the Science Museum of Virginia, and visit the animals at Maymont's farm and nature center.
