to Hampton Roads The Armed Forces have played a pivotal role in Hampton Roads, a nautical term meaning protected anchorage or safe harbor, since the English set foot here in 1607.

THE SOLDIERS who accompanied the first settlers are the predecessors of the thousands of men and women who have donned uniforms to protect the United States. The region is proud to house bases associated with each branch of the military, including: Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Fort Monroe, Coast Guard Station Portsmouth and numerous Navy bases – including Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Air Station Oceana, Joint Expeditionary Base (JEB) Little Creek-Fort Story.

With so much presence in the area, the Navy is the heart of the region. With more than 95,000 uniformed men and women currently stationed here, the Navy has had undeniable impact on the region’s history, economy and culture. More than 300,000 residents are part of the Navy family, plus an overwhelming number of retired or separated Sailors who choose to remain here.

Naval Weapons Station Yorktown is the Navy’s premiere weapons facility. More than 3,000 military and civilian personnel work on the 11,500-acre base, maintaining missiles and other ordnance for the Atlantic Fleet.

With a list of Navy resources, childcare options, community information and contact information for public and private schools and religious organizations, this special section is intended to help make the transition to Hampton Roads a little easier and a little more enjoyable while getting to know the Navy and civilian communities.

What are you waiting for? EXPLORE HAMPTON ROADS.

Naval Station Norfolk is the world’s largest naval base. More than 60,000 military and 10,000 civilian personnel work on the base, which homeports more than 80 Atlantic Fleet ships and 16 squadrons.

The world’s largest amphibious base – formerly Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek and now part of Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story – is the homeport for 30 amphibious ships, including patrol aircraft and salvage ships. About 80 tenant commands are based at JEB-Little Creek, including Naval Special Warfare Group II, East Coast-based SEALs and the Armed Forces School of Music.

Operation Crowd Pleaser

JEB-Fort Story is home to the 11th Transportation Battalion, which conducts amphibious operations. It is the Army’s only saltwater-purification training site. The site offers amphibious training for all branches, including explosive ordnance disposal Sailors and Navy SEALs. Naval Air Station Oceana is the most sophisticated and critically important air station in the Navy, with collectively almost 20 squadrons and almost 300 aircraft stationed there. The base employs 10,500 military and 2,340 civilian personnel. Dam Neck Annex, also part of NAS Oceana, hosts the Fleet Combat Training Center, which trains more than 1,000 students each month.

Dam Neck employs another 2,412 military and 1,080 civilian personnel.

Chesapeake is home to the Dismal Swamp Canal where Edgar Allan Poe reportedly penned parts of his famous poem, "The Raven."

-Courtesy of visitchesapeake.com

CHESAPEAKE was formed in 1963 by a political consolidation of the City of South Norfolk with the former Norfolk County, which dated to 1691. The new city joined the ranks of the current Seven Cities of Hampton Roads which are linked by the circumferential Hampton Roads Beltway. And just like much of Hampton Roads, the area boasts an impressive history.

Chesapeake’s history goes far back into Virginia’s colonial roots. On the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, which passes through Chesapeake, lays the site of the Battle of Great Bridge.

On Dec. 9, 1775, the red coats and colonists clashed in the Battle of Great Bridge when the American rebels defeated the British and drove them from nearby Norfolk. Today, the municipal center complex rests a few hundred yards from that historic spot.

Until the late 1980s and early 1990s, much of Chesapeake was either suburban or rural, serving as a bedroom community for the cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach with residents commuting to these locations. Beginning in the late 1980s and accelerating in the 1990s, however, Chesapeake saw significant growth, attracting numerous industries and businesses of its own.

FOUNDED

1963

The business community includes more than 80 foreignbased companies from 19 different countries. This economic

development and the attractive residential properties have created a population boom. Chesapeake has grown from 78,000 at its inception to an estimated 222,209 in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Today, Chesapeake is a vibrant community that enjoys the best of two worlds – one of urban variety, culture and excitement and another of rural landscapes and relaxed country living. In fact, nearly 300 farms occupy close to one-fifth of the city’s land, growing corn, soybean and wheat.

Chesapeake is host to many culturally-diverse events and is home to many beautiful parks, lakes and rivers. The city has more miles of deepwater canals than any other in the country.

The Dismal Swamp Canal runs through Chesapeake as well. It is the oldest continuously used man-made canal in the United States today and has been in service for over 230 years.

Chesapeake is home to Naval Auxiliary Landing Field Fentress, a Navy facility under Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach.

HAMPTON is one of America’s oldest cities and with a proud and rich history and is one of the fastest growing cities in the region. Hampton is the most populous settlement with the name and is the sixth most populous city in Virginia.

Hampton’s history is traced to April 30, 1607 when Captain John Smith and company landed at Kecoughtan. They declared the land brought them “great comfort,” before continuing upriver to establish Jamestown. On October 1, 1609, Fort Algernourne, one of America’s first forts, was constructed at Point Comfort – the site several fortifications would occupy.

Hampton is nestled along the beautiful Chesapeake Bay and graced with miles of shoreline and breathtaking water views.

Hampton has a distinct small-town feel with little traffic and an abundance of amenities. With an average commute time of 20 minutes, Hampton is literally in the heart of Hampton Roads.

Like most cities in Hampton Roads, Hampton also has a strong military presence. Fort Monroe is headquarters for the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command and Langley Air Force Base hosts the 1st Fighter Wing and Air Combat Command.

FOUNDED

1908

As the home of NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton lays claim to the birth of the American space program – the first training ground for American astronauts like John Glenn and

Alan Shepherd and the Mercury Seven.

Langley Speedway offers NASCAR fans an outlet for their “need for speed.” Call 865-RACE (7223) for more information about the track and for upcoming races.

In addition to the cost of living being well below the national average, Hampton has one of the lowest crime rates in the region and was rated as one of the “Best Places to Live” by Money Magazine. Hampton was also recently named one of the “100 Best Communities for Young People” in the first-ever national competition held by America’s Promise.

Hampton offers exciting nightlife and family entertainment with endless choices to spend leisure time. With its prime waterfront location, boating is one of the most popular activities. The city has numerous cultural treasures, a vibrant arts community, distinctive festivals and signature events.

Feature parks, nature preserves, community centers, public golf courses, classes or programs are available for almost any hobby or interest.

ames City County, Virginia

JAMES CITY COUNTY began as the roots of our nation’s heritage spread from Jamestown. For thousands of years, migratory hunters lived along the Chesapeake Bay. Then in June 1606, King James I granted a charter to the Virginia Company to establish a satellite English settlement in the Chesapeake region. By December, 108 settlers sailed from London instructed to settle Virginia, and to find gold and a water route to the Orient. On May 14, 1607, the Virginia Company explorers landed on Jamestown Island.

The first representative assembly in the New World convened in the Jamestown church on July 30, 1619. The General Assembly met in response to orders from the Virginia Company “to establish one equal and uniform government over all Virginia.”

The County was formally created in 1634 as James City Shire by order of King Charles I. James City County is considered one of only eight original shires of Virginia to still be in existence today in essentially the same political form. By the early 1640s, English settlers began spreading up and down the county, establishing generally modest farms and small plantations. The chief crop, tobacco, became the cornerstone of Virginia’s economy for 200 years.

FOUNDED

1634

In 1676, after a dispute between Gov. William Berkeley and frontier settler leader Nathaniel Bacon, Bacon set the town ablaze, destroying the church, statehouse and many other buildings. Fire destroyed the colony’s fourth statehouse in October 1698. As Jamestown never had recovered from Bacon’s Rebellion, Governor Francis Nicholson and the General Assembly decided to move the seat of government to Middle Plantation.

Richmond became Virginia’s capital in 1780. Jamestown began to slowly disappear above ground.

Population: 67,237 Median Income (Household) $76,705 City Info: 253-6728 www.jccegov.com Libraries: www.wrl.org Parks: 259-3200 www.jccegov.com/recreation School Info: 253-6777 www.wjcc.k12.va.us

A military post was located on the island during the American Revolution, and in 1861 the island was occupied by Confederate soldiers. Little further attention was paid to Jamestown until preservation was undertaken in the twentieth century.

James City County’s most important treasure was Jamestown Island, the scene of periodic commemorative celebrations beginning in 1807. It was saved from both desecration and commercialization by the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities (APVA), which in 1893 acquired 22 1/2 acres around the church site. Since the National Park Service came on the scene in 1934, the two organizations have worked together to protect and develop the island as an important historical site.

In 1907, the nation observed the 300th anniversary of the settlers’ landing at Jamestown. A great celebration took place, principally at the site where the Norfolk Naval Base is now situated. It featured elaborate exhibits and an armada of ships. A hard-surfaced road was built linking Williamsburg and Jamestown for those wanting to see the actual settlement site.

World War I brought the twentieth century to James City County’s doorstep. The peninsula became a center for troop training and embarkation, munitions manufacturing, and supply storage. By the 1920s, automobile travel had begun to revolutionize the economy. The restoration of the old capital of Williamsburg was a vital factor in minimizing the effect of the 1930s depression, helping spur the local economy until the beginning of World War II. During that war, industrial activity added to the County’s agricultural economy. By the 1950s the economy was growing away from its agricultural heritage and toward manufacturing and service-oriented businesses. The College of William and Mary, long an academic and cultural pillar and leader of the area’s economy, contributed further to County growth. Student enrollment more than doubled from 1955 to 1970, leading faculty, administrators, and students to seek new housing areas beyond the city limits.

The county is home to the Busch Gardens Europe theme park, the massive Kingsmill Resort, and the Williamsburg Pottery Factory. The Historic Jamestowne and Jamestown Settlement attractions combine with Colonial Williamsburg, and are linked to Yorktown by the National Park Service’s bucolic Colonial Parkway, to make worldwide tourism to the Historic Triangle a major economic activity for the county.

ewport News Virginia

No one knows for sure where Newport News got its name, but “Newportes Newes” first appears in the Virginia Company records in 1619, making it one of the oldest place names in the New World.

-Courtesy of newport-news.org

THE CITY OF NEWPORT NEWS was formally organized and became independent of Warwick County in 1896 by an act of the Virginia General Assembly. It was one of only a few cities in Virginia to be newly established without earlier incorporation as a town. Newport News is currently ranked as Virginia’s fifth largest incorporated city by population and is located at the southwestern end of the Virginia Peninsula on the north shore of the James River, thus playing a huge role in the maritime industry.

The City of Newport News was essentially founded by Collis P. Huntington. Huntington, a Northern railroad tycoon from Connecticut, brought two magnet industries to Newport News: the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company.

Now known as Northrop Grumman Newport News, the shipyard, chartered in 1886, has built aircraft carriers for the Navy since the 1930s, including the first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise and is today the sole builder of the Navy’s carriers.

FOUNDED

1896

The first vessel built by the yard was the tugboat Dorothy.

Newport News is also home to the Army’s Fort Eustis, home of the U.S. Army Transportation Corps and to the U.S. Army

Population: 180,719 Median Income (Household) $49,562

Transportation Museum, featuring traditional and experimental devices like the Avro-Car which resembles a flying saucer.

The city provides residents and visitors with plenty to do.

History buffs can stroll through Civil War battlefields and 1862 Peninsula Campaign sites or peruse the exhibits at The Mariner’s Museum, which records 3,000 years of maritime history.

Children of all ages love the Virginia Living Museum where exhibits depict Virginia’s natural heritage from the mountains to the sea and introduces visitors to more than 250 living species native to Virginia through discovery centers and interactive hands-on exhibits.

Newport News is also home to 32 city parks, including one of the largest municipal parks in the country. Newport News Park is a magnificent 8,000 acre-oasis home to an incredible variety of native wildlife — deer, foxes, otter, raccoon and beaver, to name a few — all found in a natural setting of lush woodlands, flowering meadows and shimmering lakes.

Norfolk hosts the world's largest naval base, the region's international airport and is one of the busiest international ports on the East Coast of the United States.

-Courtesy of www.norfolk.gov

By 1917, as the United States built up to enter World War I, Naval Air Station Hampton Roads had been constructed.

Now home to Naval Station Norfolk, the largest Navy base in the world, it is impossible to miss the imprint of the Navy at work and at play.

1907 brought both the Virginian Railway and the Jamestown Exposition to Sewell’s Point. The large naval Review at the exposition, demonstrated the Peninsula’s favorable location and laid the groundwork for the world’s largest Naval base.

Norfolk serves as home to the two highest level professional franchises in the state of Virginia, the Norfolk Tides baseball team and the Norfolk Admirals hockey team. See page 40 for more information on those and other local sports teams!

1736

Established in 1624, the city was the colony’s most prosperous town by 1775. It was an important port for exporting goods to the British Isles and beyond. But on New Year’s Day 1776, during the three-day siege of the Revolutionary War, most of Norfolk’s early structures were destroyed. In the spring of 1862, the Battle of Hampton Roads took place off the northwest shore of the city’s Sewell’s Point Peninsula, marking the first fight between two ironclads, USS Monitor and CSS Virginia.

Norfolk’s easily-walked downtown waterfront boasts attractions such as the battleship USS Wisconsin and Nauticus, The National Maritime Center, an interactive science and technology. Tugboats and visiting cruise ships share the waters with sailboats and merchant ships. Other treasures include The Chrysler Museum, Norfolk Botanical Gardens and the Virginia Zoological Park.

FOUNDED

NORFOLK is named for the large natural harbor of the same name located at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. The city is bordered to the west by the Elizabeth River and to the north by the Chesapeake Bay. One of the oldest of the Hampton Roads cities, Norfolk is considered to be the historic, urban, financial and cultural center of the region.

Norfolk has a long history as a strategic military and transportation point. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) has its defense headquarters here. It also has the corporate headquarters of Norfolk Southern Railway, one of North America’s principal Class I railroads and Maersk, the world’s largest shipping company.

oquoson

Virginia

The place now known as Poquoson was inhabited by Native Americans. They used the term "pocosin" to describe this area. The word loosely translates into "great marsh" or "flat land."

The city’s name is said to be derived from this word.

-Courtesy of citytowninfo.com/places/virginia/poquoson

POQUOSON is an independent city located on the Virginia Peninsula, and is the oldest continuously named city in Virginia. It is also one of the few to retain a name which derived from the Native Americans who inhabited the area before colonization by the English began in the 17th century.

The term “poquoson” was used to describe a boundary line between two elevated tracts of land.

Such a boundary contained a stream, river, or creek with its adjoining marsh which lay between two tracts of higher ground. Poquoson was used as a common noun and is found in many deeds along the eastern seaboard. Through the years the term became a proper noun for the land that lies between two such Poquoson’s – the Old Poquoson River and the New Poquoson River.

1631

FOUNDED

The first mention of Poquoson was in Captain Christopher Calthrope land grant issued by a court in Elizabeth City on April 26, 1631. Three years later the Poquoson Parish was named as a beneficiary in the will of Benjamin Symms for “a free school to educate and teach the children of Elizabeth City and Poquoson.”

This New Poquoson Parish originally included the areas

Population: 12,150

known today as Poquoson, Tabb, Grafton, Dare and Seaford.

The southern portion of the Poquoson District in York County was incorporated in 1952 to retain control over its schools. The city form of government was adopted in 1975. Mrs. Carroll Lee (Peggy) Moore III is the designer of the City logo. Her entry was judged the best in a contest during the National Bicentennial Celebration.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis combines the city of Poquoson with surrounding York County for statistical purposes. Poquoson, which was formerly part of York County, became an incorporated town in 1952 and an independent city in 1975. However, the ties remain close. Over 30 years after Poquoson became a politically independent entity, some constitutional services such as the courts, sheriff and jail continue to be shared with neighboring York County.

Legend has it that Benedict Arnold was held captive in one of the homes in the Olde Towne Historic District.

-Courtesy of visitportsva.com

PORTSMOUTH, named for Portsmouth, England, is the smallest in Hampton Roads. It was founded in 1752 by an act of the Virginia General Assembly on behalf of Col. William Crawford, a wealthy merchant and ship owner, who dedicated the four corners of High and Court Streets for a church, a market, a courthouse and a jail.

Directly opposite of Norfolk, the city of Portsmouth has miles of waterfront on the Elizabeth River as part of the harbor of Hampton Roads and is another Hampton Roads community that boasts a lot of waterfront shorelines. Portsmouth is connected to the rest of Hampton Roads by two underwater tunnels – the Midtown and Downtown tunnels.

Portsmouth is also home to Naval Medical Center Portsmouth.

Established in the 1830s, the facility is the Navy’s oldest continuously operating medical hospital. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard, the oldest shipyard in the country – actually located in Portsmouth despite the name – is a historic and active U.S. Navy facility that builds, remodels and repairs all classes of Navy ships. Portsmouth is also headquarters to the Coast Guard’s Fifth District and the Coast Guard’s Integrated Support Command.

FOUNDED

1752

Many of Portsmouth’s attractions are clustered within easy walking distance of each other, making it the perfect place to spend a day. And with its central location, it’s easy to get to –

Population: 95,535 Median Income (Household) $45,488

just a quick ferry ride from downtown Norfolk, a 20-minute drive from Virginia Beach and less than an hour from Colonial Williamsburg.

Olde Towne Portsmouth has over 40 restaurants in one square mile and offers something for every palate and every budget.

Besides shops and restaurants, the area features events such as “First Weekend” each month, a Farmer’s Market, arts and antiques shows and holiday-related events like the “Annual Ghost Walk” and “Winter Wonderland.”

The Children’s Museum of Virginia is the state’s largest children’s museum, with more than 80 hands-on exhibits and an antique toy and model train collection.

Sports enthusiasts will love the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame and Museum, which honors Virginia athletes, coaches, administrators, educators and journalists who have made a major impact on the world of sports. The city also has great options for active folks, including: golfing, boating, cycling, urban hiking, canoeing and rowing.

city in land area in Virginia and the 11th largest in the country.

Burned by the British in 1779 and damaged by other fires throughout the next century, Suffolk survived to become a city in 1910. In 1974, it became the present City of Suffolk, consolidating with the towns of Holland and Whaleyville and the County of Nansemond. The end result was a new municipality encompassing a total of 430 square miles, making it the largest

Country living provides outdoors-types with plenty to do as well. From free-fall skydiving with U.S. Parachute Association to fishing along the city’s 8,000 acres of waterways – the city is certain to keep you adrenaline flowing. The Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge offers a nice getaway to bicycle, hike, bird watch or just to enjoy a family picnic.

1742

Suffolk was founded by English colonists in 1742 as a port town on the Nansemond River as part of the Virginia Colony.

Before European contact, indigenous tribes lived in the region for thousands of years. At the time of English settlement, the Nansemond Indians lived along the river. In the early colonial years, the English cultivated tobacco as a commodity crop, but later turned to mixed farming.

The charisma of Suffolk is clear and its population is expected to more than double in the next 20 years. But the city is careful about development and preserving the landscape while creating communities for new residents. The revitalized downtown features historical attractions as well as shopping and dining. Newer developments offer residents the option of suburban-style living.

FOUNDED

SUFFOLK Of all the Hampton Roads communities, Suffolk offers the greatest opportunity for a little extra acreage for real country living. Geographically, Suffolk is the largest independent city in land area in the entire Commonwealth. Though it is the largest of the cities in Hampton Roads, it has the smallest population.

Peanuts grown in the surrounding areas became a major industry for Suffolk and the area is known as the heart of peanut production. Suffolk is also the birthplace of Mr. Peanut, the mascot of Planters’ Peanuts. In 1912, an Italian immigrant named Amedeo Obici moved from Pennsylvania to Suffolk and opened Planters Nut and Chocolate Company. Each year in the fall, the City of Suffolk hosts Suffolk Festivals Incorporated’s annual Peanut Fest, hosting close to 200,000 visitors over four days.

Virginia Beach is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the longest pleasure beach in the world.

-Courtesy of visit-virginia-beach.com

VIRGINIA BEACH The most populous city in Virginia, it began as a small resort area in Princess Anne County after the 1888 arrival of rail service and electricity and the opening of the original Princess Anne Hotel at the oceanfront near the tiny community of Seatack.

The growing resort of Virginia Beach became an incorporated town in 1906 and an incorporated city in 1952. Although the resort was initially dependent upon railroad and electric trolley service, the completion of Virginia Beach Boulevard in 1922, which extended from Norfolk to the oceanfront, opened the way for automobiles, buses, trucks and passenger rail service, the latter of which was eventually discontinued.

Virginia Beach is a resort city with miles of beaches and hundreds of hotels, motels and restaurants along its oceanfront. Every year the city hosts the East Coast Surfing Championship as well as the North American Sand Soccer Championship. The city features 79 miles of scenic waterway, 60 miles of bike paths, 38 miles of shoreline and 28 miles of public beach. In fact, the city is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the longest pleasure beach in the world, which is located near the longest bridge-tunnel complex in the world – the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel.

The beaches contribute substantially to the tourism that produces a large share of Virginia Beach’s economy and welcomes approximately 2.75 million visitors annually.

Although Virginia Beach is best known for its tourism, the military and agribusiness sectors contribute considerably to the city’s economy. Virginia Beach is home to three military installations – Naval Air Station Oceana, NAS Oceana Dam Neck Annex and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. The “sound of freedom” fills the sky every day as Navy jets swoop through the air on training missions.

Williamsburg is home to two exciting theme parks, Busch Gardens and Water Country USA.

WILLIAMSBURG, originally Middle Plantation, a 1632 fortified settlement located on high ground on the Peninsula between the James and York rivers, it was renamed Williamsburg after the capital of the Virginia Colony was moved there from Jamestown in 1698. The new city was renamed in honor of England’s reigning monarch, King William III. Williamsburg became one of America’s first planned cities. Laid out in 1699 under the supervision of Gov. Francis Nicholson, it was to be a “new and well-ordered city” suitable for the capital of the largest and most populous of the British colonies in America. A succession of beautiful capitol buildings became home to the oldest legislative assembly in the New World. The town received a royal charter as a city in 1722. The young city grew quickly into the center of political, religious, economic and social life in Virginia leading to the American Revolution.

FOUNDED

1699

Williamsburg also became a center of learning. Famous political leaders emerged from the College of William and Mary, (which had been founded in 1693), such as Presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and John Tyler. The first hospital established in America for the care and treatment of mental illness was founded in Williamsburg in 1773. General George Washington assembled the Continental Army in Williamsburg in 1781 for the siege of nearby Yorktown and the winning of American independence.

The Capital was again moved in 1780, this time up the James River to Richmond, where it remains today. Williamsburg reverted to a quiet college town and rural county seat. In retrospect, Williamsburg’s loss of capital city status was its salvation as many 18th century buildings survived into the early 20th century.

The Restoration of Williamsburg began in 1926, after the Rector of Bruton Parish Church, the Reverend Doctor W. A. R. Goodwin, brought the city’s importance to the attention of John D. Rockefeller Jr., who then funded and led the massive reconstruction of the 18th century city we see today. National attention soon focused on the restoration effort. During a landmark visit in 1934, Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed its main thoroughfare, the Duke of Gloucester Street, “the most historic avenue in America.”

With Williamsburg known internationally as the premier center for the preservation and interpretation of American colonial history, the Historic Triangle of Virginia, which also includes Jamestown and Yorktown, is among the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The three are linked by the National Park Service’s rural Colonial Parkway, a 23-mile-long National Scenic Byway which is carefully shielded from views of commercial development.

Williamsburg also offers non-automobile driving alternatives for visitors and citizens. The intermodal Williamsburg Transportation Center is located in a restored Chesapeake and Ohio Railway station near the Historic Area, downtown, and the College.

of the 1607 founding of Jamestown in 2007.

During its 350-year history, the County of York has figured prominently in both the political and economic history of the Virginia Peninsula, the Commonwealth, and the Nation. The port of Yorktown, which remains the seat of government, was the site of the final battle of the American Revolution.

YORK COUNTY Stretching 27 miles between Williamsburg and Hampton, York County is part of the “Historic Triangle” of Jamestown, Williamsburg and Yorktown, which hosts millions of tourists each year, especially during the 400th anniversary

In 1781, The Battle of Yorktown effectively pinned the British between French and American troops and on Oct. 19, Lord Cornwallis surrendered. The Revolutionary War was over; America was born. The historical impact of this event is evidenced throughout the county.

One Metropolitan University...

After World War II, one of the nation’s largest and most diversified military-industrial complexes emerged in the Norfolk-Virginia Beach-Newport News MSA, spawning numerous small precision machine, metal fabrication and technical research companies. The influence of the early waterman remains active; seafood processing, ship building, and ship repair prosper.

Four Convenient Locations

York County is home to several large and important military facilities of the United States. Located along the York River, Naval Weapons Station Yorktown was originally established during World War I by order of President Woodrow Wilson, and now includes the formerly separate Cheatham Annex Supply Complex. Camp Peary was established during World War II as a Seabee Training Base and is currently referred to as the Armed Forces Experimental Training Activity.

In 1975, the county lost 15.5 square miles of land as the incorporated town of Poquoson, which had been within York County, became an independent city, although ties between the county and the new city remained close. More than 30 years later, they continue to share courts, sheriff’s office, a jail and some constitutional services.
