The Middle Peninsula is the second of three large peninsulas on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, in the United States. As of the 2020 census, the Middle Peninsula was home to 92,886 people. It lies between the Northern Neck and the Virginia Peninsula. This peninsula is bounded by the Rappahannock River on the north and the York River on the south, with the Chesapeake Bay to the east. It encompasses six Virginia counties: Essex, Gloucester, King and Queen, King William, Mathews, and Middlesex. Developed for tobacco plantations in the colonial era, in the 21st century the Middle Peninsula is known for its quiet rural life, vegetable truck-farming, and fishing industry.

  • Мидл (англ. Middle Peninsula) — второй из трех крупнейших полуостровов на западном берегу Чесапикского залива в штате Виргиния, США. Он расположен между реками и Йорк. На его территории находятся шесть округов: Эссекс, Глостер, Кинг-энд-Куин, Кинг-Уильям, Матьюс и Мидлсекс. Полуостров известен своей спокойной деревенской жизнью, огородами и рыбной ловлей. На полуострове нет крупных городов и почти отсутствует индустрия. Здесь находятся всего несколько небольших городков: Уэст-Пойнт с бумажной фабрикой и Делтавилл. Городок Эрбанна известен своей туристической индустрией. (ru)

  • La península Middle es la segunda de tres grandes penínsulas en la costa occidental de la bahía de Chesapeake en Virginia, en los Estados Unidos. Se encuentra entre el Northern Neck y la península de Virginia.​ Esta península está delimitada por el río Rappahannock, en el norte, y el en el sur, con la bahía de Chesapeake, en el este.​ Comprende seis condados de Virginia: Essex, Gloucester, King and Queen, King William, Mathews y Middlesex.​ Desarrollada para plantaciones de tabaco en la época colonial, en el siglo XXI, la península Media es conocida por su tranquila vida rural, la agricultura de camiones de verduras y la industria pesquera. No hay ciudades en la península Media y poca industria. Entre las ciudades que se encuentran allí, West Point tiene una fábrica de pulpa y papel. La comunidad no incorporada de Deltaville es un lugar popular para los habitantes de la ciudad que buscan un bote de fin de semana en la bahía. Tappahannock es una comunidad próspera en el río Rappahannock, y Urbanna tiene una industria turística pequeña pero próspera. Dos pequeñas reservas de tierra son el hogar de las tribus indígenas de los pamunkey y mattaponi reconocidas por el estado. Las autopistas principales en la península son la ruta 17 de los Estados Unidos (Tidewater Trail), que conecta Fredericksburg con el área de Hampton Roads, y la ruta estadounidense 360 (Northumberland Highway), que conecta Northern Neck con Richmond y Danville. Antes de que existieran las autopistas modernas, los transbordadores de pasajeros y los cargueros de vapor unían toda la región de la bahía de Chesapeake. Los dos condados más al sur de la península media, Gloucester y Mathews, ahora se consideran parte del área metropolitana de Hampton Roads. El condado de Gloucester está conectado a la península de Virginia por el puente conmemorativo George P. Coleman, que cruza el río York. El condado de King William y el condado de King y Queen al oeste son parte del Área Estadística Metropolitana de Richmond (MSA). (es)

There are no cities on the Middle Peninsula and little industry. Among the towns found there, West Point has a pulp-and-paper mill. The unincorporated community of Deltaville is a popular spot for city-dwellers seeking a weekend boating on the bay. Tappahannock is a thriving community on the Rappahannock River, and Urbanna has a small but prosperous tourism industry. Two small land reservations are home to the state-recognized Pamunkey and Mattaponi Indian tribes. The primary highways on the peninsula are U.S. Route 17 (Tidewater Trail), which connects Fredericksburg with the Hampton Roads area, and U.S. Route 360 (Northumberland Highway), which connects the Northern Neck with Richmond and Danville. Before modern highways existed, passenger ferries and steam freighters linked the entire Chesapeake Bay region. The two southernmost counties on the Middle Peninsula, Gloucester and Mathews, are now considered to be part of the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. Gloucester County is connected to the Virginia Peninsula by the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge, which spans the York River. King William County and King and Queen County to the west are part of the Richmond Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). (en)
