A bit about Hampton:
Hampton was incorporated as a city in 1849.
On March 30, 1908, Hampton was separated from Elizabeth City County and became an independent city.
However, it remained the
county seat
and continued to share many services with the county. On July 1, 1952, following approval of voters of each locality by referendum, the city of Hampton, the
incorporated town
of
Phoebus
and Elizabeth City County merged into the independent city of Hampton.
It was the first of a series of political consolidations in the
Hampton Roads
region during the third quarter of the 20th century.
