Newmarket

Newmarket is best known within Virginia for its place in the Newport News section of Hampton Roads, on the Virginia Peninsula. The community lies close to the lower James River, which broadens toward Hampton Roads and the Chesapeake Bay, placing it in a setting shaped by tidal water and the urban Peninsula. Newport News Shipbuilding, founded in 1886, has made the wider waterfront an enduring American centre for naval ship construction. Newmarket is best understood as part of a working coastal metropolitan area rather than a separate resort destination.
