Gloucester County - Land of the Life Worth Living

The Hampton Roads region of southeastern Virginia has long been considered the birthplace of Colonial America. This lush geography, surrounded by water, is home to some of the most enduring and history-rich counties in the United States.

Formed in 1651, Gloucester, the northernmost county in Hampton Roads, is home to some of the oldest English settlements in the New World. Gloucester lays claim to an extraordinary collection of colonial and pre-Revolutionary buildings ... from private homes, to public buildings in the Court House Historic District, to two of America's oldest churches.

Gloucester County covers over 200 square miles of luxuriant countryside, bordered on the west by the York River and to the east by Chesapeake Bay. Recreational activities abound, especially on or near the countless rivers, creeks, ponds and streams in the area. Marinas, boat ramps and public landings are plentiful. Swim, sail, fish ... or enjoy a spectacular sunset from a spot along the miles of pristine shoreline.
