Welcome to Portsmouth. This historical city is located on the western side of the Elizabeth River directly across from the City of
Norfolk. In 1620, the future site of Portsmouth was recognized as a suitable shipbuilding location by John Wood, a shipbuilder, who
petitioned King James I of England for a land grant. The surrounding area was soon settled as a plantation community. Portsmouth
was founded by Colonel William Crawford, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. It was established as a town in 1752 by
an act of the Virginia General Assembly and was named for Portsmouth, England. Please click the “city logo graphic” at left, for more historical perspectives from the
