The Chesapeake area was among the first parts of Virginia settled in the colonial era. Norfolk County, formed in 1691, once covered nearly all the land that became Norfolk, Portsmouth and South Norfolk, but it shrank after 1871 as those cities annexed territory. At Great Bridge, where locks now mark the passage between the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River and the Chesapeake and Albemarle Canal, the Battle of Great Bridge was fought on December 9, 1775. The American victory led to the removal of Lord Dunmore and the end of royal government in Virginia.
South Norfolk became an incorporated town within Norfolk County in 1919 and an independent city in 1922. By the late 1950s it was about to lose the county land around it to annexation by Norfolk, and it wanted to stand on more equal footing with its larger neighbors. Becoming an independent city also let the county fix its borders, since Virginia cities could not annex land from one another. In 1963 South Norfolk and Norfolk County consolidated into the new independent city of Chesapeake, with the merger and the new name approved by referendum and by the General Assembly. It was part of a wave of local government changes in southeastern Virginia between 1952 and 1975. Until the late 1980s Chesapeake was mostly suburban or rural, a bedroom community for Norfolk and Virginia Beach. Rapid growth in the late 1980s and 1990s brought new industries, along with strains such as saltwater in the water supply and crowded roads and schools. Sources Wikipedia: Chesapeake, Virginia
