About Suffolk
Suffolk's modern history began in 1608 with English settlement and trade with the Nansemond Indians. Trade continued to expand along the Nansemond River, with John Constant founding an important trading center known as Constant's Wharf, which would eventually become the Town of Suffolk in 1742. The Town was called "Suffolk" after the Governor's English home in Suffolk County, England.
The Town of Suffolk was burned by the British in 1779, but even that could not stop the town from growing. In 1910, Suffolk became a city, with more businesses establishing themselves in the area. One such business is the Planters Nut and Chocolate Company. In 1912, Amedeo Obici moved from Pennsylvania to Suffolk and founded his company there. Suffolk would continue to serve as a major peanut processing center and business hub in the Hampton Roads area.
Suffolk Landscape, Position, & Geography
Suffolk is located west of the large eastern cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach. Its position has helped to establish it as an important connnection hub. Due to its position and large land area, Suffolk provides excellent land development and construction opportunities. Today, Suffolk is the largest city in Virginia by land area, encompassing 430 square miles. Suffolk's vast space adds to its variety of urban cities and rural, undeveloped areas.
