EXPLORE HAMPTON ROADS
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? EXPLORE 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. With a list of Navy resources, childcare options, community information, and a recently added section on local public school programs, 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.

FOUNDED 1963
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. 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. 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.

FOUNDED 1908
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. Like most cities in Hampton Roads, Hampton also has a strong military presence. Hampton is home to Fort Monroe, a national monument, and Langley Air Force Base hosts the 1st Fighter Wing and Air Combat Command.

FOUNDED 1896
NEWPORT NEWS was formally organized and became independent of Warwick County in 1896. It 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. The first vessel built by the yard was the tugboat Dorothy. Newport News is also home to the Army’s Fort Eustis and the U.S. Army 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

VIRGINIA BEACH
FOUNDED 1736
NORFOLK, established in 1624, 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. 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. 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. Norfolk’s easily-walked downtown waterfront boasts attrac-

PORTSMOUTH & CHESAPEAKE
FOUNDED 1752
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. 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. 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 – just a quick ferry ride from downtown Norfolk, a 20-minute

FOUNDED 1742
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. 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. 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, 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. Virginia Beach is a resort city with miles of beaches and hundreds of hotels, motels and restaurants along its oceanfront. The city features 79 miles of scenic waterway, 60 miles of bike paths, 38 miles of shoreline and 28 miles of public beach. The Contemporary Art Museum of Virginia features internationally renowned artists, as well as regional and local favorites. Animal lovers should not miss the Virginia Aquarium. The American Music Festival, the Virginia Beach Neptune Festival Boardwalk Weekend, and the NAS Oceana Air Show are just a few of the city’s festivals and events not to be missed. 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. PAGE 27 |

If a child has no regular, fixed residence but resides within the school division in a temporary shelter, institution, or place not ordinarily used as a residence, the school division may determine that a street address, route number, or post office box number, cannot be provided. The school division may accept an alternative form of address that it considers appropriate.

Busch Gardens Willamsburg | www.buschgardens.com/bgw CHARLOTTESVILLE & PRESIDENTIAL HOMES Charlottesville, a charming little city surrounded by the hazy Blue Ridge Mountains and acres of rolling farmland, bears the mark of Thomas Jefferson. The third president built his home in the hills nearby and founded the University of Virginia located here, which has continued to flourish over the intervening centuries. Most tourists come to the area to visit three presidential homes. Located three miles southeast of town, Thomas Jefferson’s former home, Monticello is set on 1,000 acres of restored gardens and is open daily (guided tours only of the house itself). Montpelier, one-time home of third president James Madison is located just south of the town of Orange (the residence itself recently restored), while Ash Lawn-Highland, the home of James Monroe, is located near Monticello and Michie Tavern, built in 1784.
APPLE PICKING IN WINCHESTER Winchester-Frederick County’s roots lie in the apple industry, so it’s no surprise that even today the rolling hills still feature family-owned farms and markets. While away an afternoon picking your own apples, sipping Shenandoah Valley wine, or enjoying a leisurely hayride. Other attractions in Winchester include Civil War battlefields and cemetaries, historic manor homes and museums. Visit www.visitwinchesterva.com for more information. | Summer 2014

It is our desire to follow God’s commandments for the church as found in the New Testament. Like first century Christians, we engage in the singing of psalms, hymns and spiritual songs; prayer, teaching, the Lord’s supper, and giving. In our teaching, you will hear obedience to the will of God being emphasized not sophistry or the philosophies of men. Faith in God, as taught in the gospel of Christ comes from hearing God’s Word (Romans 10:17). Come join us as we seek to worship God in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24) 217 Taxus Street • Chesapeake, VA 23320 • (757) 436-6900 PAGE 44 |
