Description

Although fairly new on the American scene of cities; Chesapeake possesses a long history dating back to the early 1600s; when the first intrepid settlers began establishing farms on the fertile soils of Tidewater Virginia. Over the centuries; the region divided itself into larger cities; such as Norfolk and Portsmouth; a number of small towns; and rural county governments. Combating the expansion of the City of Norfolk; the leaders and citizens of SouthNorfolk and Norfolk County agreed to merge their governing entities in 1963 to create the new city of Chesapeake. Chesapeake; Virginia chronicles the history of the young city; nestled between the Elizabeth and Indian Rivers; and explores the various towns and villages that provide the area with its unique charm and character. From Berkley and South Norfolk to Deep Creek and Great Bridge; readers will journey into the past and hunt with the early American Indians that inhabited this lush landscape; toil with the colonial fathers as they began taming the land for future settlement; battle with the Continental troops as they defeated the British at Great Bridge; strain with the workers as they dig the historic Dismal Swamp Canal; and so onacross four centuries of struggle and prosperity into the twenty-first century.
