New Bohemia, Virginia

New Bohemia [1] is an unincorporated community in Prince George County, Virginia, United States, along U.S. Route 460.

New Bohemia was established early in the 20th century by a group of Bohemian and Slovak immigrants who had previously settled in the industrial and mining sections of western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio.

Some Bohemian and Slovak families who had homesteaded in the Midwest also moved back east and bought farms in Prince George.

The members of the two communities would often travel back and forth between Baltimore and Prince George County in order to cooperate on events.

Several large tracts of land including a parcel previously used as a drop zone by the U.S. Army at nearby Fort Lee were acquired in the early 21st century by Prince George County for the development of an Industrial Park.
