A Bit of Norfolk History
The history of Norfolk is a long one. In fact, Norfolk was settled before the United States itself was. Modern-day settlement began in the area in 1636, and the city was officially incorporated 100 years later in 1736. It was actually burned to the soil by the British during the Revolutionary War but was quickly rebuilt. The 19th and 20th centuries were a time of significant growth in the area, and today the city is a major American naval and planet shipping hub, as skillfully as a city with a thriving arts and culture scene, plenty of opportunities and more than enough for everyone to see, do and relish. It also has a thriving and vibrant LGBTQ community. Norfolk would truly make a wonderful place to call home.
