The city of Chesapeake has miles of waterfront residential, commercial and industrial property.

During 1963, Chesapeake was formed out of the amalgamation of the City of South Norfolk and the county of Norfolk. The regions history however, dates as far back as the early 1600s when the region was first settled. During 1775, the historic Battle of Great Bridge happened. This marked an early Revolutionary War victory for the United States troops over the forces of the British Royal governor, Lord Dunmore. Work started on the Great Dismal Swamp Canal in the year 1793.
