That whole area is a bit odd. Just down the road and across the river are
Poquoson (puh-KO-sin)
and
Mathews (MATH-iss)
The county around Richmond, the capital, is Henrico (hen-RYE-coh)
Further west is Narrows (Narrs) and Buena Vista (BYOO-na Vista)
Not really on the language topic, but another oddity in that state (actually not a state, one of the 4 mainland commonwealths) is that cities cannot be in counties. Cities and counties are distinct operational entities and have no power over one another. For example, in the NE corner of the state you have the City of Fairfax, which is entirely surrounded by powerful Fairfax County. However, the school, police, fire and other services are completely separate, as is the administration, board, and taxation authority. When filling out a form in Virginia, you are asked whether you live in a city or a county. They are mutually exclusive. In the SE part of the commonwealth are the powerful city-counties (Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk, VA Beach) that are merged entities, similar to Arlington in the north (formerly part of the District of Columbia).
Certain parts of the commonwealth have interesting speech or lingustic variants, too.
Many of my friends from the Lynchburg area would say "thow" instead of "throw". One stylistic oddity that I still use is "might could" or "might should". These have a very specific intent.
"What do you want to do tonight?"
"We might could go see a movie."
To a Virginian, this is rather different from "We could go see a movie", which is about listing possibilities. "We might could go see a movie" is more like "maybe we could use our time to see a movie, or maybe not"; just a shade less declarative than a simple "could" or "should".
