Where is Henrico County?

Henrico County, Virginia, is ideally located in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Literally surrounding Richmond, the state capital, this strategic location on the eastern seaboard is a valuable asset to companies serving the U.S. markets and Europe.  It places local businesses halfway between the markets of the north and south, within a one-day haul of 50% of the U.S. population. Over 60% of the goods manufactured in the United States are distributed from the 750-mile (1,207 kilometers) area.

For national and international companies being in the Eastern Time Zone maximizes their hours of operations, which helps to improve efficiencies.  In addition to being half way between Boston and Atlanta, Henrico County is well positioned equidistant between Los Angeles and London.

The recently expanded Richmond International Airport (located in Henrico County, just east of Richmond, Virginia) is ideal for business travelers and families alike, making destinations like Boston or Atlanta just ninety minutes away.

Henrico's central Virginia location is within a two-hour drive to the Atlantic beaches, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. Historic Williamsburg is within a one-hour drive. Two major East Coast interstates conveniently traverse Richmond and cross in Henrico County (I-64 EW and I-95 NS) allowing for efficient travel.

Henrico County's land area totals 244.06 square miles (635 square kilometers) and consists of both highly developed urban and suburban areas and undeveloped agricultural and forest land.
