History
The Islamic Center of Virginia (ICVA) was founded in the mid-1970’s by a group of Muslim pioneers in Richmond. The land, which currently hosts the Islamic Center, was acquired on November 11th, 1981. Today, this Center is the largest of its kind in Central Virginia, thanks to the dedication of the community and the leadership.
