Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Virgilina, VA

Virgilina is an incorporated town in the southeastern corner of Halifax County, Virginia, whose southern town border is the Virginia–North Carolina state line.

Virgilina's name is a portmanteau of 'Virginia' and 'Carolina,' reflecting its position directly on the state border.

Virgilina was once a copper mining town, and it remained a stop on the Atlantic and Danville Railway into the 1950s.

The community's post office opened in 1890, and the town was first counted in the federal census in 1900, with 200 residents.

Virgilina's population peaked at 358 residents in the 1940 census, during its mining and railroad era.

As of the 2020 census, Virgilina had a population of 126 residents, down 18.2 percent from 154 in 2010.

At the 2000 census there were 159 people, 76 households, and 43 families living in the town.

Virgilina covers just 0.62 square miles, all of it land, at an elevation of about 551 feet.

Virginia State Routes 96 and 49 intersect at the center of town and both continue south into North Carolina, toward Oxford and Roxboro respectively.

The town sits on a small ridge whose streams drain through Aarons Creek north to the Dan River, part of the Roanoke River watershed, and the county seat of Halifax County is the town of Halifax.
