About Norfolk, Virginia

The heart of Virginia's Hampton Roads region, Norfolk is home to Naval Station Norfolk, the world's largest naval installation, and one of the busiest container ports on the U.S. East Coast. Founded in 1682, the city has embraced the mermaid as its unofficial symbol, scattering brightly decorated statues across downtown and adopting the identity of 'Mermaid City.'

History of Norfolk

• Officially founded in 1682, taking its name from Norfolk County in England, with a deep natural harbor on the Chesapeake Bay that made it an important trade and transportation center.
• The land under Naval Station Norfolk was originally the site of the 1907 Jamestown Exposition.
• After the United States entered World War I in April 1917, the Navy was persuaded to purchase the roughly 474-acre property, seeding what became the world's largest naval station.
