Tidewater region of Virginia

Encyclopedia : T : TI : TID : Tidewater region of Virginia

The Tidewater region of Virginia is a term which is no longer commonly used to refer to the southeastern portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Instead, that region is now generally referred to as Hampton Roads. (See also Virginia Peninsula and South 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 US 460.
