A Brief History of Gloucester Point, Virginia

Located on Route 1208 and U.S. Route 17 at Gloucester Point. The district includes portions of Tyndall's Point Park , remnants of Confederate and Union fortifications and the site of colonial Gloucestertown, the first building of which was a tobacco warehouse constructed in 1632. By 1680 the town site was established, but with the passage of years after the Revolutionary War the town faded into history.

No colonial buildings remain. The major portion of the site of Gloucestertown is now part of the campus of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science of the College of William and Mary. Exhibited in the Institute's Watermen's Hall are the plaque designating the Gloucester Point Archaeological District as a Virginia landmark and a collection of the artifacts excavated during the archaeological salvage work conducted just prior to construction of Watermen's Hall in 1983 - 1984.
