From taking in the gorgeous views of the Blue Mountain Range to dipping your toes in the ocean along the beaches of Chesapeake Bay or stepping back in history in Colonial Williamsburg, there's much to love about Virginia.

It's a state where forests cover over 60 percent of the land, there are 544 miles of the Appalachian Trail to hike, and where a state senator formed the idea for Earth Day back in 1969.

Virginia is also known for being home to the largest naval base in the world. Naval Station Norfolk is the home base for the United States Navy's Atlantic Fleet.

You'll also find the largest office building in the world in Virginia. The Pentagon is approximately 6.5 million square feet and has 17 miles of corridors. Also, did you know there are nearly 68,000 miles of internal telephone lines inside the Pentagon? Or that the cost to build it back in 1943 was $63 million? That would be nearly a billion dollars in today’s money.

Virginia's economy is not surprisingly steeped in military and federal government with the naval base and Pentagon on deck. Farming and the high-tech industry are big players as well. Other notable companies based in Virginia include the Marriott Corporation, Dollar Tree, and Rubbermaid Commercial Products.

Virginia holds the honor of being the U.S. state that has produced the most presidents. It's where it gets its nickname as the Mother of Presidents. Eight presidents were born in Virginia, and they include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson.

Of course, many celebrities hail from Virginia. Among them are actor Warren Beatty, journalist Katie Couric, evangelist Pat Robertson, singer Pharrell Williams, and rapper Missy Elliott.

And finally, did you know there's an island in Virginia where wild horses roam? There are two herds split between the Virginia and the Maryland sides of the island on Assateague Island, which spans 37 miles between the two states. Around 300 of the horses roam the island's protected areas. Visitors to the area are allowed to view the horses but cautioned to give the wild animals space.
