Richmond Auto Shipping

Richmond is a city in as well as the capital of the entire state of Virginia, and according to the US Census Bureau the city is the fifth largest in the entire state as well as the 105th largest in the United States. It is, like most other cities in Virginia, an independent city, meaning it is not a part of any city whatsoever. It is also the principal city of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area.

Richmond was founded by settlers from the original Jamestown colony in 1609, though the original Richmond did not last long; the area would remain unsettled for almost another century before it would be settled again. During the American Civil War Richmond was named as the capital of the Confederate States of America in 1861, and it was the main focus for the Army of the Potomac (the Union Army in the Eastern Theater) until it fell in 1865; it was perhaps the most destroyed city in the entire Civil War. Today, however, the city has been completely rebuilt, and its economy focuses primarily on manufacturing and service-based industries.

During the summer months, average daily highs in the city reach into the upper 80’s during the day, while lows typically fall down into the low 70’s overnight. During the winter months, however, temperatures drop severely, with average daily highs only reaching into the mid 50’s and overnight lows dropping down into the low 30’s.
