Bristol is a unique city straddling the Virginia-Tennessee state line in the southeastern United States. The Virginia side of Bristol is an independent city located in the mountainous region of Southwest Virginia.

Known for its rich musical heritage, Bristol has earned the title "Birthplace of Country Music," as it was the site of the historic 1927 Bristol Sessions, which helped launch country music into mainstream American culture. The city's downtown area features a distinctive State Street, where the state line runs directly down the middle of the main thoroughfare.

Bristol's cultural identity is deeply rooted in Appalachian traditions, and the region's history is closely tied to the development of the railroad industry and early American frontier settlement. The city continues to celebrate its musical legacy while serving as a regional hub for commerce and culture in Southwest Virginia.
