My grandparents are from here. Isn't Potts Creek in the city limits, too? Mike H 17:11, Aug 26, 2004 (UTC)
Wow, your grandparents are from here? That's really cool, so am I. I don't think Potts Creek is technically in the city limits, but people who live there have Covington as their address.-- Champignonne 18:41, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I've removed the following paragraphs from the "Geography" section:
The subjects discussed may well be noteworthy (if attributed to a reliable source), but the wording above is very problematic. An editor knowledgeable about these local controversies is invited to rewrite the content in keeping with the neutral point of view policy.
(Personally, I don't doubt the veracity of the claims: the problem is with the tone of the paragraphs.) — Josiah Rowe ( talk • contribs) 23:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
138.163.0.43 ( talk) 20:59, 8 August 2010 (UTC) I was born in Covington, Virginia and lived there for 20 years. Covington, VA was named after Peter Covington, the town's oldest inhibatint, as shown at this WEB site:
http://www.covingtonhistory.co.uk/Virginia.htm
It was not named after General Leonard Covington. Also on on Leonard Covington page it gives a lot of (Covington)s in various states it says were named after him. I bet some of them are also not named after Leonard Covington.

I have removed this table of historic presidential election results from the article. There is nothing at WP:USCITIES supporting inclusion, and it appears out-of-scope and indiscriminate cruft. Your input is welcome. Magnolia677 ( talk) 16:28, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
