Western Branch, Virginia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Western Branch, Virginia
Western Branch is a community located in the independent city of Chesapeake, Virginia (formerly Norfolk County) in the United States. It is located in the South Hampton Roads region and consists of generally low-lying sandy terrain of the coastal plain. Its namesake, the western branch of the Elizabeth River, defines the area's eastern boundary. Western Branch is the northernmost borough of Chesapeake. == History == In the 1970s and early 80s, many of the residents lived in Western Branch because of either the General Electric plant located in Suffolk, Virginia or because they were military families trying to live outside the busy Norfolk/Virginia Beach areas. As the GE plant shut down in the mid 1980s, many residents were left jobless, although many new opportunities opened up with the growth of business and industry in the area.
