Lynchburg is an independent city in Virginia, United States. Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains along the James River, it had a population of 79,009 at the 2020 census, making it the 11th-most populous city in Virginia.[3] It is nicknamed the “City of Seven Hills” or the “Hill City.”[4] Lynchburg was founded in 1757 by John Lynch, a Quaker ferry operator and abolitionist.[5] During the American Civil War, Lynchburg’s strategic importance helped it remain the only major city in Virginia not recaptured by Union forces before the war’s end.[6]

Lynchburg anchors the Lynchburg metropolitan area, which lies near the geographic center of Virginia and is the fifth-largest metropolitan area in the state, with a population of 261,593. The city is a regional hub for education, home to several institutions of higher learning, including Liberty University, the University of Lynchburg, Randolph College, Virginia University of Lynchburg, and Central Virginia Community College.
