Nora, Virginia
Nora is an unincorporated community in Dickenson County in the southern U.S. state of Virginia. In the 2000 US census, its population is listed as 566. Nora is situated along the McClure River. Coal mining has always been the primary business for the community and county. However, in recent years natural gas production has increased sharply because it has become possible to extract gas from the underlying Huron Shale formation. The Huron Shale deposit in this part of Virginia is called the Nora Field. History The site of what is now Nora was originally called "Mouth of Open Fork", and in 1882 it was briefly the county seat of the newly formed Dickenson County.
