Newland, Virginia facts for kids

Newland is a small place in Richmond County, Virginia, in the United States. It's called an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that isn't officially a town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

Imagine a neighborhood that doesn't have its own mayor or town council. That's a bit like an unincorporated community! The people living there get their services, like roads and police, from the county government, not from a separate town government. Newland is one of these communities.
