The County was formally created in1634 as James City Shire by order of KingCharles I. James City County is consideredone of only eight original shires of Virginiato still be in existence today in essentiallythe same political form.World War I brought the twentieth centuryto James City County’s doorstep. Thepeninsula became a center for troop train-ing and embarkation, munitions manufac-turing, and supply storage. By the 1920s,automobile travel had begun to revolution-ize the economy. The restoration of the oldcapital of Williamsburg was a vital factorin minimizing the effect of the 1930s de-pression, helping spur the local economyuntil the beginning of World War II.The county is home to the Busch GardensEurope theme park, the massive Kings-mill Resort, and the Williamsburg PotteryFactory. The Historic Jamestowne andJamestown Settlement attractions com-bine with Colonial Williamsburg, and arelinked to Yorktown by the National ParkService’s bucolic Colonial Parkway, forworldwide tourism to the Historic Triangle.

1736

Established in 1624, Norfolk was the colony’s mostprosperous town by 1775. It was an important port forexporting goods to the British Isles and beyond. But onNew Year’s Day 1776, during the three-day siege of theRevolutionary War, most of Norfolk’s early structures weredestroyed. In the spring of 1862, the Battle of HamptonRoads took place off the northwest shore of the city’sSewell’s Point Peninsula, marking the first fight betweentwo ironclads, USS Monitor and CSS Virginia.

1907 brought both the Virginian Railway and the James-town Exposition to Sewell’s Point. The large naval Reviewat the exposition demonstrated the Peninsula’s favorablelocation and laid the groundwork for the world’s larg-est Naval base. By 1917, as the United States built up toenter World War I, Naval Air Station Hampton Roads hadbeen constructed. Now home to Naval Station Norfolk, thelargest Navy base in the world, it is impossible to miss theimprint of the Navy at work and at play.

Norfolk’s easily-walked downtown waterfront boastsattractions such as the battleship USS Wisconsin andNauticus, The National Maritime Center, an interactive sci-ence and technology. Tugboats and visiting cruise shipsshare the waters with sailboats and merchant ships.Other treasures include The Chrysler Museum, NorfolkBotanical Gardens and the Virginia Zoological Park.
