CPRV History

The history of Colonial Place and Riverview began at the turn of the 20th century during a period of growth for the City of Norfolk. The city annexed a farming community just outside of town and slated it for suburban development; Colonial Place and Riverview were part of this development. Suburban development at that time depended upon connection to the trolley system–a connection that still exists in the neighborhood (although the trolleys no longer require electric lines). >>> more on the History of CPRV >>>
