Southside (Richmond, Virginia)

Encyclopedia : S : SO : SOU : Southside (Richmond, Virginia)

This article is about an area of Richmond, Virginia. For the southern central region of the state of Virginia, see Southside Virginia. For the portion of the Hampton Roads area commonly called the "south side", see South Hampton Roads. For the part of Richmond immediately south of the James River known as South Richmomd, see Manchester, Virginia.

The Southside of Richmond is an area of the Metropolitan Statistical Area surrounding Richmond, Virginia. It generally includes all portions of the City of Richmond which lie south of the James River, and includes all of the former city of Manchester. In some contexts, the term "Southside of Richmond" may also include some northern areas of adjacent Chesterfield County, Virginia in the Richmond-Petersburg region.

Since there is no one municipal organization that represents this specific region, the boundaries are loosely defined as being south of the James River and west of Interstate 95 (formerly Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike) with a southern border extending approximately to Chester, Virginia. Some portions of the Southside of Richmond closest to the downtown area north of the river are also considered part of Downtown Richmond.
