Chesapeake Auto Shipping

Chesapeake is an independent city located in the US state of Virginia; it is located in the South Hampton Roads metropolitan area and is one of the Seven Cities of Hampton Roads (the others being Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach). According to the official US Census, which was last conducted in 2000, the population of the city makes it the third largest city in the state of Virginia as well as the 88th largest city in the United States.

Chesapeake was founded in 1607 by Captain Christopher Newport. It began as a small settlement until tobacco was found, which then became the main source of income for the town; the Virginia Tobacco Company was established and the city began to flourish. During the American Civil War, Chesapeake was a major naval port, and it has been ever since; like Norfolk, the area plays host to naval “war games,” with Chesapeake being the main target for the games. Shipping is also a major factor in the economy.

During the summer months, average daily highs in the city only reach into the mid-to-upper 80’s during the day, which is quite cool given its location; overnight, however, lows drop down into the low 70’s, and during the winter months average highs only reach into the mid 50’s during the day, with lows often dropping below freezing overnight.
