On
April 26th 1607 Admiral Christopher Newport set a landing party ashore at the present site of Virginia Beach. Fearing the area was too susceptible to attack from the
native people and the Spanish, Admiral Newport chose a small island on the James River
(Jamestown) on which to establish the first permanent English Colony in the new world. Fourteen years later,
some of the colonists returned to the original landing site and settled in the area that is now Virginia Beach.
Abundant fishing and fertile soil assured the area's success.
In the late 1800s, Virginia Beach developed as a resort following construction of a hotel and a railroad linking it with Norfolk. After World War I it became an important base in the national coastal-defense
system and today is home to Little Creek Naval Amphibious Base, Oceana Naval Air Station, and Fleet Combat Direction Systems Warfare Training Center at Dam Neck.
With its excellent beaches and many fine hotels ,
Virginia Beach is one of the most popular resort destinations on the
east coast and one of the fastest growing cities in the United States.
