WELCOME TO FORT LEE HOME OF ARMY SUSTAINMENT

Whether your visit is temporary or long-term, we hope you will enjoy all that our installation and the local area have to offer.

Fort Lee is situated alongside the Tri-Cities of Virginia – Petersburg, Colonial Heights and Hopewell – as well as the counties of Chesterfield, Prince George and Dinwiddie. The Army garrison shares many similarities with its neighbors. It is a diverse community comprised of service members and civilian personnel, as well as a home to hundreds of military families who reside in its housing areas.

Over the past 14 years, Fort Lee experienced enormous growth, mostly as a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure decisions and the installation’s designation as the Army Sustainment Center of Excellence – a focused training base for military supply, subsistence, maintenance, munitions, transportation and more.

Those decisions sparked a massive base modernization mission with a budget of more than $1.2 billion. In addition to new training facilities, administrative areas, troop dining halls and barracks, Fort Lee has grown and improved its many support facilities and services for military families.

Fort Lee has witnessed significant changes to its population as well – much of it due to the convergence of military organizations from other parts of the nation. In addition to the Combined Arms Support Command, Team Lee now consists of the Army Logistics University, the U.S. Army Ordnance School, the U.S. Army Quartermaster

FORT LEE | 2020 COMMUNITY GUIDE

School and the U.S. Army Transportation School. Its tenants include the headquarters of the Defense Commissary Agency, Kenner Army Health Clinic, a Military Entrance Processing Station, the Defense Contract Management Agency and the 2nd Brigade of the 94th Training Division (Army Reserve).

Fort Lee supports more than 28,500 people on post and nearly 63,000 off post, including personnel from all branches of the military service, their families, government civilians and contractors, military retirees and reservists. Furthermore, as many as 70,000 troops will pass through Fort Lee’s classrooms each year, making it the third largest training site in the Army. These are the most significant statistics of all … Fort Lee recognizes its tremendous responsibility and the privilege to provide the most comprehensive training and quality of life services possible for the members of the military family who will pass through its gates.

On a final note, the installation command team asks all Fort Lee visitors to exercise caution as they travel throughout the post. Slow down, especially around any marching troop formations, construction sites and housing areas. Be aware also that the installation prohibits the use of handheld electronic devices while operating a vehicle as a safety precaution and in compliance with DOD regulations. Fort Lee welcomes you. We hope you will find your visit, your training or your assignment rewarding. We’re proud to say you’re a member of “Team Lee.”

LOCAL AREA

AN OVERVIEW OF THE TRI-CITIES REGION: The region is marked by the Appomattox River and the confluence of the Appomattox and James rivers. American Indians from the Appomattox and Powhatan tribes called this area home for centuries. Shortly after the settlement of Jamestown in 1607, colonists ventured down the Appomattox and James rivers to build new settlements along the banks. These included the Citie of Henricus in what is now Chesterfield County, and Fort Henry, which developed into the modern-day city of Petersburg. Major fur and Indian trade routes were established along local waterways, and it wasn’t long before the area became a center for tobacco farming and manufacturing, supplying Virginia’s cash crop to the entire globe.

FORT LEE | 2020 COMMUNITY GUIDE

LOCAL AREA

CHESTERFIELD COUNTY The county was founded on May 25, 1749. It was carved from Henrico County. The county was named from the Fourth Earl of Stanhope, England’s famed Lord Chesterfield.

The James River borders the county on the northeast and the Appomattox River forms the county’s southern boundary.

Chesterfield was first settled in 1611 at the Citie of Henricus, when residents of Jamestown moved upstream to a “convenient, strong, healthie and sweete seate” for a new town after conditions at Jamestown were too harsh.

Chesterfield County was the site of the first cultivated tobacco in America at Bermuda Hundred, which also became the first incorporated town in America. In 1619, Falling Creek became the site of the first iron furnace in the New World.

Battery Dantzler Battery Dantzler was constructed at the northern end of the Howlett Line in May 1864 to stop Union naval forces from advancing up the James River to Richmond. Confederate forces engaged in several artillery duels with Union ironclads. View the Confederate earthworks and see the interpretive signs, photographs and observation deck overlooking the James River.

Drewry’s Bluff Constructed in 1862, Fort Drewry on Drewry’s Bluff stood as a vital bastion blocking the progress of the U. S. Navy up the James River toward the Confederate capital of Richmond. A decisive battle on May 15, 1862, ended the Union naval threat to the capital city when defenders defeated the famous ironclad USS Monitor and four other warships. Today the fort survives intact, with a one mile walking trail and numerous exhibits. A viewing platform offers a sweeping vista of the James River and the battlefield.

Henricus Historical Park Located in the 800-acre Dutch Gap Conservation Area, this park is a reconstruction of the 1611 Citie of Henricus, the second successful English settlement in the New World. Henricus was established in 1611 at a site Sir Thomas Dale found on a bluff overlooking one of the most scenic areas of the James River in what is today Chesterfield County. Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan, spent much of her life near Henricus. It was here that tobacco crops were first grown and cultivated for sale in Europe.

Costumed interpreters in this 32-acre living history museum transport you back to the days of Pocahontas and the early English settlers. A re-created Arrohateck Indian village demonstrates how native people lived. The Citie Center is a re-creation of the original English fort.

LOCAL AREA COLONIAL HEIGHTS The earliest people to inhabit the area were members of the Algonquin Indian tribe, who apparently roamed along the Appomattox River. Several areas in presentday Colonial Heights still retain their Indian names.

The area was settled by the English in 1620.

The name Colonial Heights results from action during the American Revolutionary War. In 1781, the French troops under the Marquis de Lafayette, known as the Colonials, retreated north from Petersburg and set up artillery on the heights overlooking Petersburg and the Appomattox River. The area came to be known as Colonial Heights.

The area also became involved in operations during the Civil War. General Robert E. Lee made his headquarters at Violet Bank from June through September during the siege of Petersburg in 1864.

The area was first incorporated in 1926 and became an independent city in 1948.

Old Brick House Built in 1685 by Richard Kennon, an English gentleman, it is considered the oldest brick house in the area and thought by some to be the oldest in Virginia.

LOCAL AREA DINWIDDIE COUNTY

Dinwiddie County was established on May 1, 1752 from Prince George County. The county is named for Robert Dinwiddie, lieutenant governor of Virginia from 17511758.

The county was the site of several key battles during the Civil War during the Siege of Petersburg. The Battle of Lewis’ Farm, fought along Quaker Road, on March 29, 1865, was the first in a series of attempts

by Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s army to cut Gen. Robert E. Lee’s final supply line.

On April 1, 1865, the Union army was able to cut the rail line after capturing Five Forks at the Battle of Five Forks. The following morning, Grant’s army was able to break through Confederate fortifications in the county. The assault broke Lee’s defensive line around Petersburg and compelled Lee to order the evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond that night.

Five Forks Battlefield By the spring of 1865, the last remaining supply line into Petersburg was the South Side Railroad. On April 1, 22,000 Union troops under Major General Philip H. Sheridan attacked and defeated 10,000 Confederate troops led by Major General George E. Pickett at Five Forks, an important road junction that protected the railroad. The next day Grant assaulted Petersburg, which along with Richmond was evacuated that night. A visitor contact station is staffed daily and a short driving tour is available to explore the battlefield in more detail.

HOPEWELL

The city of Hopewell grew from the outgrowth of old City Point, which was founded in 1613 by Sir Thomas Dale. In 1622, the town was wiped out by Indians.

City Point was revived during the Civil War when Gen. Ulysses S. Grant made it a base of operations and supply center for the Union armies. City Point became one of the busiest seaports in the world during this time. In 1911, modern-day Hopewell was born when E.I. du Pont de Nemours Co. built a dynamite factory on the site of Hopewell Farms.

Mullan and many of his men were Roman Catholics, so it was decided to construct a place of worship for them. The restored chapel was opened to the public in 1995. Today it is operated as a museum by the Historic Hopewell Foundation.

PETERSBURG

The city began as a frontier fort and trading post in 1645 called Fort Henry. The Battle of Petersburg on April 25, 1781, featured about 1,000 southside militia under Gen. Baron von Steuben resisting more than 2,500 British regulars. British Gen. Cornwallis gathered British troops for the Yorktown campaign in Petersburg.

Petersburg was incorporated as a city in 1850. By then the city had become a thriving industrial and commercial center with tobacco warehouses, cotton and flour mills and iron foundries.

The city’s railroad connections and its ability to provide supplies to the Confederate capital of Richmond made it a key target for Union armies under Gen. Ulysses S. Grant toward the end of the Civil War. For nearly 10 months in 1864 and 1865, Petersburg was under siege by the Union army and was defended by Gen. Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia.

Battersea A rare example of American-Palladian architecture, Battersea was built in 1768. On April 25, 1781, British and American soldiers clashed in the Battle of Petersburg at Battersea.
