EspañolTIDEWATER REGION OF VIRGINIA
The 'Tidewater region of Virginia' is a term used to refer to the southeastern portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In modern times, that region is more specifically defined as Hampton Roads.
According to experts in Virginia's geography, the term "Tidewater" may be correctly applied to all portions of Virginia where the water level is affected by the tides. In general, this is most of the land east of I-95 (which runs between major cities along the fall line), and north of U.S. 460. That criteria would encompass not only Hampton Roads, but portions or all of other areas including the rest of the Virginia Peninsula, and all of the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck regions.
