History of the Financial District in Downtown Richmond
Downtown Richmond’s Financial District was established in the early 20th century as the economic epicenter and leader in Virginia’s banking business. Today, it serves as a hub to 53% of RVA’s workforce (nearly 80,000 jobs) and home to many well-established national and regional companies that make RVA run, like Dominion Energy, Baskervill, Virginia Lottery, McGuireWoods, regional banking and financial headquarters, and many more.
​
As our state capital, Downtown Richmond’s Financial District is home to both city and state government offices, the Virginia State Capitol and VCU Health System. Although the Financial District functions as the financial and governing core of Richmond and Virginia, there is more to see and do throughout the neighborhood outside of the daily 9-to-5.
