Excerpt:Berkley was an incorporated town in Norfolk County, Virginia . Chartered by an Act of Assembly in 1890, the Town of Berkley was located directly across the eastern branch of the Elizabeth River from the City of Norfolk in the South Hampton Roads area. Berkley featured port facilities and a shipyard. It was the rail terminus of the original Norfolk Southern Railway , a regional railroad extending 600 miles to Charlotte, North Carolina (and a predecessor of the modern Norfolk Southern rail system headquartered in Norfolk). Both the Town of Berkley and Norfolk County are extinct. Fearing annexation ambitions by its larger neighbor, the City of Norfolk, in the late 19th century, the town leaders petitioned the Virginia General Assembly to become an independent city (which would have created immunity from annexation), but the effort failed. In 1909, the Town of Berkley was annexed by the City of Norfolk, and is now considered a neighborhood of that city. (Remaining portions of Norfolk County were consolidated with the City of South Norfolk in 1963 to form the City of Chesapeake ). The Berkley Bridge on I-264 links Berkley with the downtown area of Norfolk. It is one of only a small number of drawbridges on the Interstate Highway System . Berkley also is the site of the juncture of the Downtown Tunnel (across the river to Portsmouth ) and Interstate 464 (leading to Chesapeake). ==People from Berkley== Websites (URLs online) Coordina... ...

Excerpt: The Virginia Peninsula is a peninsula in southeast Virginia, USA, bounded by the York River, James River, Hampton Roads and Chesapeake Bay. Hampton Roads is the common name for the metropolitan area that surrounds the body of water of the same name. The land portion of Hampton Roads has been historically divided into two regions, the Virginia Peninsula or Peninsula on the north side, and South Hampton Roads on the south side. (Locally, South Hampton Roads is commonly called "the Southside", which is not to be confused with "Southside Virginia", which is a separate region of the south central portion of Virginia located farther inland.) More recently, the metropolitan area has expanded to include the two southernmost counties of the Middle Peninsula, across the York River from the Virginia Peninsula. Geographically located at the northwestern reaches, Charles City and New Kent counties are by some reckonings part of the Virginia Peninsula. However, in modern times, they are more often considered part of the Richmond-Petersburg region. The rest of the Virginia Peninsula is all part of the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) with a population of about 1.6 million. The Hampton Roads MSA is ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=349174 ... Read more
