It gets its name from the U.S. state of Virginia, where most of the town's settlers originated before emigration to Liberia. Virginia was also the location of the Organisation of African Unity conference hosted by President William R. Tolbert, Jr. - who was the group's chair at the time - at Hotel Africa in 1979, just months before he was overthrown by Samuel Doe. During the Second Liberian Civil War, rebels used Virginia to launch an onslaught on Monrovia in 2003. A South African consortium plans to invest US$100 million to renovate the historic hotel in time for Liberia's hosting duties of an international women's colloquium in 2009. It contains the Seaview Golf Club. (en)
