West Point

West Point is best known in Virginia for standing where the Pamunkey and Mattaponi rivers join to form the York River. This small Tidewater town occupies a low-lying peninsula between the two tributaries, with the York River flowing southeast toward Chesapeake Bay. Its working identity has long been tied to the paper industry, and a large mill remains a prominent local presence. Riverfront parks, marinas and nearby waters support boating and fishing, while the annual West Point Crab Carnival celebrates a Chesapeake Bay food tradition.
