Henrico County, Administrative county in Virginia, United States
Henrico County spans 234 square miles and encompasses Richmond International Airport, providing essential transportation infrastructure for central Virginia residents.
The county originated as one of Virginia's eight original shires in 1634, named after the earlier settlement of Henricus established by Thomas Dale in 1611.
The county maintains 45 elementary schools, 13 middle schools, and 10 high schools, forming an educational system that serves over 330,000 residents.
Residents access county services through five district offices, where they can process permits, pay utilities, and participate in local government programs.
