What is So Great About Virginia Beach?

When you drive down the coast from Virginia to Florida in your car or fly over the Atlantic Ocean on a helicopter, you'll probably see a sign marking the start of the historic Route 1, which begins on the Eastern Shore. The history of Virginia Beach, Virginia's Eastern Shore, goes all the way back to the Native Indians who lived there for thousands of years, before the first English settlers arrived on Cape Henry in April 1608 and established their first permanent colony in Jamestown, a few months later. There the Pilgrims would build a church, a school, and a fishing village, including the ruins of St. Thomas' Church, one of the first places they visited on their journey.

When the Pilgrims arrived, they discovered that the Indians had already had a presence for some time, even though they didn't know each other at the time. It was soon after the settlement came into being that the first English came to visit Virginia Beach. They were joined by the Dutch, the Irish, and other settlers who arrived in small groups over the following decades.

Early Dutch and Irish fishermen, together with the arrival of the first settlers, brought many goods to Virginia Beach that helped the area thrive. From the Virginia Company, which was an early protectionist organization, to the Virginia Company, a company that traded and supplied food to Virginia's people, it was a busy place, and the region flourished. Eventually, the Virginia Company moved their headquarters from Williamsburg to Chesapeake City, located in present-day Hampton Roads. It was from this point on that the city grew in size. Soon, the British arrived on the Eastern Shore as well, bringing their own settlers, and a thriving business community was born.

As the population grew, so did the number of ships that made their way into Virginia. As the colony expanded, more boats were used to bring goods and colonists to Virginia Beach. At first, the main reason was simply for fishing, but soon the area was full of sailors who wanted to go down to Norfolk and stay while they were in the water.

Over time, the area became a fishing hotspot, attracting many new settlers and immigrants to Virginia Beach. During this period of growth and development, a variety of things happened. A church was built in Jamestown, providing a place of worship for the colony as well as a place to live. And as more settlers came, the town grew and more shops began to open up.

It wasn't long before the population of Virginia Beach increased and grew. In the mid-1700s, more merchants opened shop, many of them starting out as general stores. As the colony grew, more people came.

By the 1800s, when the Civil War broke out, the town of Virginia Beach began to change. The population began to increase, as did the number of businesses opening up around the area. This led to an increase in crime, and even more people started to buy land and move to Virginia Beach and settle in the area.

After the Civil War ended, the town of Virginia Beach began to decline, because of a rise in crime and the loss of the rail line from New York. Many people came to move away from the town to better living elsewhere.

Today, the town of Virginia Beach is still growing and has a lot to offer everyone. There are a variety of businesses that have started to flourish. In addition to restaurants, there are art galleries, spas, and various shopping centers, all of which contribute to the town's overall prosperity.

There are plenty of hotels to choose from in Virginia Beach, including those that are owned by the local government, as well as those that are owned by businesses. There are also motels and inns, so it shouldn't be hard to find one that fits your budget. One of the best features of any of these hotels is the complimentary hot tubs, which you can use for yourself, or for your guests.

In the past, the town of Virginia Beach had a reputation for being a little rough around the edges, so if you want to be away from it all and have a nice place to relax, why not come here? You will find something great to do here.
