Open to sites related to the independent city of Hopewell Virginia, which is physically located within northwest Prince George County near Petersburg. From the Hopewell-Prince George Chamber of commerce: The City Point area of Hopewell is one of the oldest continually occupied English settlements in the United States. It was visited by Captain Christopher Newport in 1607, a few days after the first settlers arrived in Jamestown and has been continuously occupied since 1613. The area was the site of an Indian massacre in 1622 and the scene of Revolutionary fighting in 1781. During the Civil War, City Point served as headquarters for Ulysses S. Grant. Many historic buildings and sites remain in Hopewell. The area's population skyrocketed in 1915 when DuPont established war-related production facilities in the City. The population declined substantially when World War I ended and the company closed its production facility. Hopewell was incorporated in 1916 and annexed City Point in 1923.
