Acquaint yourself with Norfolk’s history by reading our brief historical summary provided below. The Norfolk area was originally occupied by the tribe of Chesepians, who were wiped out by the Powhatan community before the arrival of the Europeans. The British were the first to arrive and colonize the area. Sir George Yeardley established cities in the area to administer the affairs of the colony. By the time of the American independence, Norfolk had become the epitome of prosperity. There was also a large presence of loyalists and these loyalist fought hard in support of the British. Thus, at the beginning of 1776, the city was shelled heavily resulting in over 800 buildings being destroyed or damaged. That was more than half the city. The city had been shelled and set ablaze almost wiping it out completely. The city slowly recovered from the effects of the Revolutionary war but growth was soon stunted again with the raging fires of 1804. This fire destroyed almost a third of the city and soon populations were faced with dire economic interruptions that saw families move further inland and further south.
