New Bohemia, Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Bohemia is an unincorporated town in Prince George County, Virginia. It is located on U.S. Highway 460.
New Bohemia was established early in the 20th century by a group of Bohemians and Slovaks from the industrial and mining sections of western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. Their success in rehabilitating worn-out farms, where production had almost vanished under one-crop planting year after year, led to the immigration of other Bohemians and Slovaks, with a sprinkling of Poles and Lithuanians, many of whom came directly from their homelands.
