The United States Circuit Court for the Eastern District of Virginia was established on February 4, 1819. From 1864 to 1871, following the separation of West Virginia from the rest of the state, what remained as Virginia was reunited under one judicial district. In 1871, that united district was divided again into Eastern and Western judicial districts and the respective Eastern and Western circuit courts. These were then abolished with the rest of the circuit court system on March 3, 1911.[1]
