About location

Aberdeen Gardens is best known within Virginia for being a New Deal-era planned community created for African American families. Developed in Hampton during the 1930s by the federal Resettlement Administration, it was intended to foster homeownership and a stable community for Black residents. The neighborhood belongs to Hampton Roads, the densely settled coastal region around Chesapeake Bay. Its historic district retains the planned character of the original development, while the surrounding streets connect it to Hampton’s broad arterial-road network. Aberdeen Gardens preserves an important chapter of African American social history in a city closely tied to the bay.
