Hampton Roads

located in southeastern virginia. basically a combination of 7 urban cities see seven cities, norfolk, virginia beach, newport news, hampton, portsmouth, suffolk, and chesapeake.

so there’s basically no farmland or suburbs you just travel from city to city…

the population for each city ranges from 150,000 to 600,000 max with the ethnicity being mostly black

not really known to the rest of america because of absolutely no sports franchises but still each city is bigger than most cities with sports teams..
if hampton roads wasnt split up into 7 cities it would be the second biggest city in america…
“hampton roads” is a condensed version of the original name given by the region’s settlers to the harbor in southeastern virginia known then as: southampton’s roadstead.

the term “hampton” dates from the early 17th century when the first royal governor, lord de la ware, named the area in honor of the third earl of southampton, henry wriothesley, a major investor of the virginia company of london, the financial backers of the jamestown settlers. and, “roadstead” is an old english word for a protected harbor.

some things never change: just as sports stadiums, libraries, and college buildings today are named for major sponsors and donors, so it was then.

“hampton roads” also refers to the body of water between the virginia peninsula (to the north) and southside, the southern part of southeastern virginia. it is formed by the confluence of the james, nansemond and elizabeth rivers and flows into the chesapeake bay whose watershed covers 64,000 square miles and all or part of six states (ny, pa, wv, md, de and va) and dc.

“hampton roads” is one of the world’s biggest and deepest natural harbors, the largest in north america, and is home to the world’s largest naval base at norfolk. “hampton roads” has been well known within nautical and maritime communities for centuries.

“hampton roads” was widely adopted as the name for the surrounding region in 1984 when two planning districts and metropolitan statistical areas (msas) merged, placing the region in the nation’s top 50.
