South Norfolk, Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
South Norfolk was an independent city in the South Hampton Roads region of eastern Virginia and is now a section of the City of Chesapeake, one of the Seven Cities of Hampton Roads which surround the harbor of Hampton Roads and are linked by the Hampton Roads Beltway.
Located a few miles south of the larger City of Norfolk along the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River, South Norfolk became an incorporated town in Norfolk County in 1919. With three years, it became an independent city.
As the much larger City of Norfolk expanded rapidly into the adjacent communities after World War II, the voters of South Norfolk chose to consolidate with Norfolk County (by mutual agreement) and with approval from the Virginia General Assembly, formed the new City of Chesapeake in 1963. The new name was also selected through a voter referendum.
