Chester

Chester lies along the northern side of the Appomattox River valley, where low, wooded terrain forms part of metropolitan Richmond’s southern fringe. This Chesterfield County community has a largely suburban character, with residential areas and busy commercial routes set between Richmond and the river towns of central Virginia. Chesterfield County was established in 1749 and named for Philip Dormer Stanhope, the fourth Earl of Chesterfield. The Appomattox flows east to meet the James River at City Point, while the wider area is associated with the Bermuda Hundred Campaign of 1864 during the American Civil War.
