City/town information
City Point, the oldest part of Hopewell, was founded in 1613 by Sir Thomas Dale. City Point’s location on a bluff overlooking the James and Appomattox Rivers has been an important factor in Hopewell’s history for almost four centuries.
The tiny colonial village of City Point saw a Revolutionary War skirmish fought on its banks. Later, in 1864-1865, General Ulysses S. Grant directed the 10-month Siege of Petersburg from the grounds of Appomattox Plantation. This historic home is now part of the City Point Unit of Petersburg National Battlefield.
Hopewell was developed by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware in 1914. This company first built a dynamite factory and then switched to the manufacture of gun and cotton during World War I.
Although DuPont left Hopewell after the war, many manufacturing giants have since located in the city. These companies include: Honeywell, Smurfit-Stone and Hercules.
Products as diverse as the first automatic dishwasher, the first Kraft paper and cardboard boxes, china and artificial silk have been manufactured in Hopewell.
Since its founding, Hopewell, named after an English ship, has continued its British ties by twinning with the City of Ashford, Kent, England.
Hopewell has received the Governor’s Clean City Award and is noted for its landscaping and beautification.

Smithfield and surrounding Isle of Wight County are as old as Virginia itself, having been first colonized in 1634. Located on the banks of the Pagan River, and lying on the opposite shore of the James River, across from Jamestown, the area was soon discovered by Captain John Smith and other early settlers. Smithfield and surrounding counties saw action during the Revolutionary War and Civil War, mainly because of its proximity to the James River.
