How do we list the independent cities in Virginia as they don't belong to counties? City, (Commonwealth of ) Virginia, United States of America?

Well you could do City of Roanoke, Roanoke City, Roanoke (independent city).

Incidentally, you can see a map and list of Virginia counties and cities plus formation info (dates and parent counties) and links with Wikipedia at

There's a thread here with good information on how to handle those.

All you have to say is Roanoke, Virginia, or City of Roanoke, Virginia. The lack of a county indicates it is a city. As a life long resident of Virginia, I was surprised to learn that cities were in counties in other states. It's all in your perspective, I guess!
