The first land that the Jamestown Settlers set foot on was the point where the James River meets Hampton Roads in Newport News. Living in Newport News, you can explore this nation’s history from its earliest beginnings. Millions of tourists come each year to Virginia’s Historic Triangle—Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and the Yorktown Battlefield—and all this is just a short drive from Newport News. Not that Newport News is lacking its own history.
