About Danville, Virginia

Danville is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. During the colonial period, the area was inhabited by Siouan language-speaking tribes. Prior to the recession of 2008, the City of Danville and its partners began a major project focused on the revitalization of the Historic Downtown and Tobacco Warehouse districts, now coined "The River District." The project continues with a new momentum as the public sector has joined the movement. (Wikipedia)
