Richmond became the capital of Virginia in 1780, but the decision to move there in 1779 was driven by strategic considerations during the American Revolutionary War. Its location along the James River made it more defensible against British attacks and facilitated trade and supply routes. Additionally, relocating to Richmond helped centralize government and military operations, enhancing coordination in the fight for independence. The move also symbolized a shift towards a more centralized, organized government in the midst of war.
