- The Northern Neck is the northernmost of three peninsulas (traditionally called "necks" in Virginia) on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in the Commonwealth of Virginia. This peninsula is bounded by the Potomac River on the north and the Rappahannock River on the south. It encompasses the following Virginia counties: Lancaster, Northumberland, Richmond, and Westmoreland. The inclusion of King George in the Northern Neck varies among commentators. Historically the grant for the Northern Neck included all land between the Rappahannock and Potomac rivers including far upstream of King George. Traditionally references in the last 100 years have not included King George as a part of the Northern Neck but some current tourism material includes King George in the Neck. But as a counter to this, the boundaries of King George and Westmoreland Counties have changed radically since their establishment with significant exchanges of territory. Significant portions of the early King George lay in what is now Westmoreland county. As the Washington and Fredericksburg corridors have urbanized in the last 50 years, King George has become more culturally aligned with the Northern Neck. This has led to some people to include it in the region.. The Virginia Department of Game and Wildlife includes King George in the Northern Neck Birding trail for the above reasons
