Gloucester County was Virginia’s political center when the first English colonists arrived in Jamestown in 1607. It was here, on the banks of the York River, that Algonquin Chief Powhatan had his stronghold and favorite home. During the colonial period, one of the first land patents in the county was issued to George Washington’s grandfather in 1650. Many plantation homes remain in Gloucester and are open to the public during Historic Garden Week.
The history of Gloucester is one that is significant not only to Virginians, but to all Americans and to the founding of our nation. Soon after Jamestown was established in 1607, John Smith was captured by Native Americans and taken to Chief Powhatan’s village along the York River at Werowocomoco in Gloucester County. According to legend, Smith was saved from execution by Powhatan’s daughter, Pocahontas during his confinement at the village. During the Revolutionary War, Continental forces stationed at Gloucester point played a significant role in George Washington’s victory at Yorktown on October 19, 1781. Gloucester is also the site of many historical homes including Warner Hall, George Washington’s grandmother’s home, Rosewell Plantation on the York River where Thomas Jefferson composed much of his early work for colonial independence, historic Abingdon Church where both presidents Washington and Jefferson attended services, and the birthplace of Dr. Walter Reed, conqueror of yellow fever during the building of the Panama Canal.
As the years have passed, Gloucester has maintained a strong connection with its rich heritage. The old-town district on Main Street has been carefully preserved with several historic 18th-century buildings surrounding the village green, and a variety of quaint antique shops, restaurants and specialty stores. Gloucester is also known for its outdoor festivals, such as the Daffodil Parade and Festival held each April to celebrate the history of this hardy flower originally transplanted by early English settlers in the 17th century.
In recent years, exciting new growth has taken place in the Gloucester business arena with a wave of commercial real estate development including shopping centers, stores, and restaurants on the Route 17 business corridor. Along the waterfront, aging seafood piers and wharfs, once the home of the legendary Chesapeake Bay Watermen, have been revitalized with modern marinas, waterfront homes, and public recreational facilities. Further inland, many large farms still remain, while others have been divided to provide large acreage single family homes, residential communities, and horse farms. In spite of this modern progress, Gloucester maintains a small town feeling, its streets seem uncrowded, and its pace unhurried. The culture can be said to be centered on the resources of this spectacular Chesapeake Bay region. Its natural beauty captures residents and visitors alike.
