| | The History of Norfolk's Site - Norfolk Highlights - Chapter 5 |
| | The narrow strip of land fronting the Elizabeth River on which Norfolk was originally established was owned by six early Virginia settlers and one mercantile group before it was laid out as a townsite in 1680-81 by John Ferebee, the surveyor for Lower Norfolk County. | | | But later historians, after a careful sifting of the evidence, have come to the conclusion that Skicoak was on the Elizabeth River closer to Hampton Roads, while the site that eventually became the nucleus of the present Norfolk was either Indian corn land or primeval forest until the English took over. | | | The fifty-acre tract, purchased from Wise for ten thousand pounds of tobacco in cask, was bounded on the south and west by the Elizabeth River and on the north and east by Back Creek and Dun-in-the-Mire Creek. |
