Colonial Heights

Colonial Heights straddles the transition between the Appomattox River lowlands and Virginia’s rolling interior, a position that has long tied it to nearby Petersburg and the broader Richmond area. The independent city grew from a community incorporated as a town in 1926 and gained city status in 1948. The Appomattox recalls the Civil War campaigns around Petersburg, while Fort Clifton Park preserves earthworks associated with that conflict. Swift Creek Mill Theatre, housed in a historic mill building, remains an established performing-arts venue.
