Virginia is one of 3 states where DMV does not necessarily mean the Division of Motor Vehicles

The Delmara Tri-State

When most people see the letters DMV they think of the Division of Motor Vehicles. For those who live in Virginia as well as 2 other nearby states there is a second meaning. The abbreviation also stands for the tri-state region of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, which is also known as DelMarVa.

In the US a tri-state is an area that lies across 3 states with a shared economy or culture among the area’s residents, typically concentrated around a central metropolis. World Population Reviews says that Virginia, Maryland, and West Virginia are connected by the Potomac River.

West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina are connected at an intersection of Interstate 77, which connects Charleston, Charlotte, and Wytheville. The DelMarVa tri-state aBrea is different as it does not have a central meeting point but has the Chesapeake ay Bridge in common. Keep this in mind the next time you see DMV.
