Lynchburg: Seven Hills, Tobacco, and Liberty University
Lynchburg sits in central Virginia at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, spread across seven hills along the James River. The city was founded in 1757 by John Lynch, who operated a ferry across the river, and grew through the nineteenth century as a major tobacco trading hub. The federal courthouse designed by Robert Mills still anchors downtown, along with Monument Terrace, a 139-step granite stairway commemorating war casualties from the Revolutionary War through the Vietnam War.
Liberty University, founded in 1971 by Jerry Falwell Sr., is now the largest private university in the United States by enrollment, with more than 100,000 students in residential and online programs combined. Its 7,000-acre campus on the southern edge of the city includes a working snowflex synthetic ski slope and a sports complex that hosts the university's FBS football team. The university's evangelical Christian identity shapes much of its programming and its public presence.
Other Lynchburg anchors include Randolph College (formerly Randolph-Macon Woman's College, coed since 2007), the University of Lynchburg, Central Virginia Community College, and the Virginia University of Lynchburg. Centra Health operates the city's largest hospital system. The Anne Spencer House, former home of the Harlem Renaissance poet, remains a museum in the Pierce Street neighborhood.
