Norfolk Homes for Sale

Norfolk, Virginia, has a sprawling skyline that can be viewed from across the Elizabeth River. This wonderful city is home to the world's largest naval base, Naval Station Norfolk, NATO's two Strategic Command headquarters and numerous large corporations, both domestic and foreign. Incorporated in 1705, Norfolk was most likely named after King's Lynn, Norfolk, England by Adam Thoroughgood, which bespeaks of its deep historical connection to the early colonial settlers who built upon what is now considered Hampton Roads. Being that Norfolk is one of the oldest cities in this area, it is no wonder people travel from all over the country to learn about some of the first people to build colonies on this side of what we now call the United States of America.
