This ninth book of The Encyclopedia of Norfolk Virginia History-Geography covers in exhaustive detail the areas that were the original town (as of 1635) and expanded into a borough (1737) and ultimately the city (1845), including its first annexation (1887, Brambleton), comprising the ever-expanding Norfolk, Virginia, one of America’s most historic and important cities. From Town to Downtown encompasses the areas of the oldest parts of the city, including areas that became neighborhoods created by redevelopment - such Calvert Park (today’s Calvert Square), Young Park (today’s Young Terrace), and Tidewater Park (today’s Tidewater Gardens) - as well as those in the Central Business District, Freemason Harbor, and other more recent developments. It includes all of the original town, borough, and city lands as well as areas located just east of the original city (such as Brambleton, Mayfield, and Highland Terrace), all described through contemporary historic maps, photographs, articles, deeds, advertisements, books, and other documents that make this a magnificent resource and reference for this great American city of the east coast. (Available exclusively from NorfolkHistory.com)
