Virginia Area Description

Virginia is a small town of 3,188 inhabitants (according to census 2006) in County Cavan, Ireland. It was originally set down during the Plantation of Ulster at Aghanure (from the Irish: Achadh an Iúir meaning "field at the fork of the river"), a prominent field location situated within the townland of Ballaghanea that some records note included an existing sixteenth century castle tower-house and bawn. The early settlement was later moved for unknown reasons to its present lakeside location (as described below) and was named Virginia after Queen Elizabeth I of England.

Situated pleasantly close to Lough Ramor, Virginia is on the N3 route approximately 85 km northwest of Dublin city, where once it was a strategic staging and rest point for the coaches plying between Enniskillen and Dublin. In more recent times, Virginia is connected to the capital by an hourly bus service from Cavan town Bus Eireann. Regarded these days as a commuter town with its proximity to larger trading towns east and west, the local industry comprises mainly of farming and milk processing at the local Glanbia factory, (formerly Virginia Milk Products) which produces skim milk powder and cream for the world renowned brand Baileys Irish Cream liqueur. Other local manufacturers include the Fleetwood brand of paint products. Virginia won the Irish Tidy Towns Competition in 1964 and 1965. It is also home to the popular annual Virginia Agricultural Show for over sixty years and Irelands only Pumpkin Festival.
