Friday Spotlight • Middle Peninsula
At the tip of a narrow peninsula where the Mattaponi and Pamunkey Rivers merge to form the York River, you’ll find a small town with a mighty spirit, West Point, Virginia.
For generations, this riverside community has been defined by its connection to the water. From its early days as a hub for steamboats and shipbuilding to today’s quiet marinas and waterfront neighborhoods, West Point remains one of the Virginia Middle Peninsula’s most authentic expressions of coastal legacy.
A Town Built on Water and Work Ethic
Before modern bridges connected the region, West Point’s rivers were lifelines, carrying goods, people, and opportunities to and from the Chesapeake Bay. By the late 1800s, the town had grown into a busy port fueled by sawmills, seafood, and shipping.
Even as industries shifted, one thing never changed: community pride. Walk down Main Street today and you’ll still feel it, in the restored storefronts, the flags in the windows, and the families who have lived here for generations.
Hidden Gem for Modern Living
Just about an hour from Richmond and roughly 30 minutes from Williamsburg, West Point blends small-town ease with real convenience. Many homes offer larger lots, access to the water, and the slower pace so many people seek.
It’s also one of the few places in Virginia where you can watch the sunrise and sunset over water, a daily reminder of what makes the Middle Peninsula special.
Community, Legacy, and the Future
West Point’s charm isn’t only in its scenery, it’s in the people who keep the town moving forward. Local businesses line the downtown corridor, students pack the stands on Friday nights, and waterfront festivals bring everyone together year after year.
