Living in Great Bridge Homes

During the early stages of the Revolutionary War, a decisive battle was fought in the environs of Great Bridge. The Continental Army and accompanying militia members repulsed both British forces and the sitting Governor from Virginia. It is widely thought that this victory ensured the eventual expulsion of Royalist forces from the Americas.

After the war, Europeans began settling the area, with the Hudgins family one of the very first recorded inhabitants. Their descendants still live in the area today. There are still historic Great Bridge homes that date from this era. While Great Bridge has functioned as a bucolic and peaceful country residence for much of its existence, today it is a part of the greater Chesapeake City area, the third largest city in Virginia.

Great Bridge Lock Park is an enticing, green area located at the place where the Elizabeth River and Chesapeake Canal meet. There are picnic areas, hiking trails, a children's area with play equipment, a boat launch and designated fishing areas. Most Great Bridge homes have excellent access to the many city and state parks in the area. The Dismal Swamp Canal Trail is an eight-mile pathway perfect for mountain biking or hiking that also offers the opportunity to enjoy both wildlife and waterway ecology.
