The land that is now the City of Norfolk was originally inhabited by indigenous peoples and became a Royal Colony in 1624, in what is now the Ocean View section of Norfolk. England decreed and then established, in 1682, the “Towne of Lower Norfolk County,” which was incorporated in 1705 and chartered as a borough in 1736. By 1775, Norfolk had developed into a center of trade. Over the years, Norfolk has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times, first in 1776, then a fire in 1804, and during the Confederate War. Today, Norfolk is a thriving city with a large population, the site of the campus for Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, one of the campuses for Tidewater Community College and has close ties to the Navy.
