Petersburg is a historic city in Virginia, United States, located along the Appomattox River. The city played a significant role in American history, particularly during the Civil War, when it was the site of the Siege of Petersburg (1864-1865), one of the conflict's longest military engagements.
Prior to the Civil War, Petersburg was an important commercial center, known for its tobacco trade and as one of the earliest industrialized cities in the South. The city's rich cultural heritage is reflected in its numerous historic districts, featuring well-preserved 18th and 19th-century architecture.
