Greetings From Norfolk
Of the sea, by the sea - Norfolk, Virginia, traces its origins back to the early 17th century, making it one of America's oldest cities. Located strategically at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, the area that would become Norfolk was initially explored by English settlers in 1607, shortly after establishing the Jamestown colony.
As a coastal port city nestled at the convergence of the Chesapeake Bay and the Elizabeth River. Known for its naval base, the largest in the world, Norfolk offers a rich tapestry of history, culture, and natural beauty.
The city is home to a lively arts scene, showcased at places like the Chrysler Museum of Art, as well as a vibrant waterfront and myriad of dining options that celebrate its maritime heritage. From historic battleships at Nauticus to tranquil settings like the Norfolk Botanical Garden, the city blends the old with the new, offering a diverse range of experiences for visitors and residents alike.
