WELCOME TO THE TRI-CITIES

No matter what you choose, you can have it all here in the TriCities, a fast-growing region 25 minutes south of Virginia’s state capital. More and more people are discovering the Tri-Cities for its affordable housing, educational opportunities and strong sense of community in neighborhoods both urban and rural. A newly expanded U.S. Army post at Fort Lee and other major developments have created a major economic impact in the region. The Tri-Cities is named for Petersburg, Colonial Heights and Hopewell, three cities that sprung up along the nearby Appomattox and James rivers. The region also includes Prince George and Dinwiddie counties and portions of Chesterfield and Sussex counties. It’s an exciting time to be a part of this diverse community.

CHESTER

CHESTERFIELD 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.

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 present-day 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.

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 1751-1758. 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.

Mission: To provide innovative Base Operations and Services essential to the greater Fort Lee Community, supporting the Nation’s Armed Forces mission.

http://www.lee.army.mil/ Fort Lee, located in the heart of the Tri-Cities off state Route 36, recently finished a transformation that has change the Army post forever. The Pentagon’s Base Realignment and Closure Act of 2005 brought the news that Fort Lee will more than double in size by 2011, gaining at least 6,500 military personnel and well over 1,000 civilians. Overall, the Fort Lee population - including military, civilian and families - has nearly doubled from about 26,000 people to 40,000. From 2006 to 2011, Fort Lee was awash in construction. There have been 39 major construction projects for a total of 56 buildings and all the projects were completed ahead of time and under budget, according to Army officials. All told, about $1.2 billion was spent on BRAC projects. One of the biggest challenges in the growth of the post though was the Ordnance Campus. The site started out essentially as virgin woodland, Gully said. But within two years it had 50 miles worth of site infrastructure on the site. Now it’s home to one of the largest Army Dining Facilities in the United States and five barracks that each house 624 soldiers. Simply put, Fort Lee has become the logistics center of the Army. For many years, Fort Lee has been home to the quartermaster center and school. Soldiers who came to post for Advanced Individual Training learned Military Occupational Skills ranging from warehouse management to petroleum and water supply to rigging — maintaining and packing parachutes. But now Fort Lee has become the headquarters to the logistics branch. All logisticians will be trained on post. Nearly a third of all U.S. Army soldiers will be trained at Fort Lee. Two of the major tenets at Fort Lee will be Army Logistics University and the Army Ordnance Center and School . 16

Several military operations have moved to Fort Lee from other posts, including the Ordnance Center and School from Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Maryland; the Transportation School from Fort Eustis in Newport News; the Air Force Training Center and the Air Force Culinary Training Center from Lackland Air Force Base in Texas and the Defense Contract Management Agency based in Alexandria, Va. Several attractions and annual events welcome visitors on post during specified times, including the U.S. Army Quartermaster Museum, the U.S. Army Women’s Museum and the Fort Lee Thrift Shop and Homemaker’s Boutique. The “Fourth at the Fort” Fourth of July celebration is a public event, as are portions of the yearly Culinary Arts Competition on post. The Lee Playhouse, currently under renovation, offers live theater shows and musicals. ACCESS Visitors coming to Fort Lee, without certain types of federal government-issued identification cards, will be subject to a background check before being allowed to enter the installation.

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. INFORMATION: (804) 541-2243 WEBSITE: hopewellva.gov

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.

PRINCE

GEORGE

The county was established in 1702 and was named in honor of Prince George of Denmark, who was the husband of England’s reigning monarch, Queen Anne. The county was one of the earliest settled regions of Virginia. It was first visited by the English in May of 1607, when Capt. Christopher Newport led a crew of 21 men in search of the best location for their permanent settlement. Prince George County is home of the oldest Episcopalian church still standing and still being used as a house of worship in America.
