Lewisetta is a small, quiet village located in Northumberland County, Virginia. It's known as an "unincorporated area," which means it's a community that doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county government.

This charming village sits right on Travis Point, where the land meets the water. It is located on the tidal Potomac River, which means the river's water levels here are affected by the ocean's tides. Lewisetta also has a special geographic feature: it's the exact spot where the 38th parallel north line of latitude meets the mainland of Virginia.
