City Point
The city owes it existence to its site overlooking the James and Appomattox Rivers. City Point the oldest part of Hopewell, was established in 1613 by Sir Thomas Dale. It was first known as “Charles City Point” and was located in Charles City Shire when the first eight shires were established in the Colony of Virginia in 1634. An area south of the river including City Point became Prince George County in 1703.
During the American Civil War, City Point was the headquarters of General Ulysses S. Grant during the Siege of Petersburg in 1864 and 1865. The City Point Railroad, built in 1838 between City Point and Petersburg played an important role, and later became the oldest portion of the Norfolk and Western Railway, itself now a part of Norfolk Southern.
City Point was an unincorporated town in Prince George until Hopewell annexed City Point in 1923.
