Avalon

Among the communities of Virginia, Avalon stands out for its setting in the Tidewater lowlands near the Southern Branch of the Elizabeth River. It forms part of Hampton Roads, the broad estuarine area where rivers meet Chesapeake Bay and where Portsmouth, Norfolk and Chesapeake are closely linked across the urban shoreline. Maritime industry and the U.S. Navy have long shaped the region; nearby Portsmouth is home to Norfolk Naval Shipyard, established in 1767 as Gosport Shipyard. Avalon is a useful point of reference for following the working waterways and residential districts of southeastern Virginia.
