Discover Chesapeake, VAThe city of Chesapeake was created 36 years ago when Norfolk County and South Norfolk merged back in 1963 with approximately 78,000 residents. This merger came about due an annexation suit filed by neighboring cities where the county lost nearly 50,000 residents and 30 square miles of land area. Under these circumstances, both Norfolk County and South Norfolk officials found it difficult to plan for the future. In the fall of 1961, city and county officials met to discuss the feasibility of a merger where an agreement was reached on December 22, 1961. On February 13, 1962, citizens of both communities turned out in near-record numbers for a special election and approved the merger. Later that year, in June, the citizens voted again and selected the name "Chesapeake" for the new city. |
