During the Civil War the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Williamsburg" title="Battle of Williamsburg">Battle of Williamsburg</a> was fought nearby during the Peninsula Campaign in the spring months of 1862.

In addition to the city's historic past, quite a few buildings of antiquity from the 18th century were still extant, although time was taking a toll by the early 20th century. The Reverend Dr. <a href="/wiki/W.A.R._Goodwin" class="mw-redirect" title="W.A.R. Goodwin">W.A.R.

Upon returning to Williamsburg in 1923 he realized that many of the other colonial-era buildings were deteriorating and their existence was at risk. </p><p>Goodwin dreamt of a much larger restoration of the colonial town.

Many 19th century buildings were removed. </p><p>By the 1930s, Colonial Williamsburg had become the centerpiece of the <a href="/wiki/Historic_Triangle" title="Historic Triangle">Historic Triangle</a> of Colonial Virginia.

The port is located only 18 miles (29 km) from open ocean on one of the world's deepest, natural ice-free harbors. Since 1989, Hampton Roads has been the mid-Atlantic leader in U.S. waterborne foreign commerce and is ranked second nationally behind the Port of South Louisiana based on export tonnage. When import and export tonnage are combined, the Port of Hampton Roads ranks as the third largest port in the country (following the ports of New Orleans/South Louisiana and Houston). In 1996, Hampton Roads was ranked ninth among major U.S. ports in vessel port calls with approximately 2,700. In addition, this port is the U.S. leader in coal exports. The coal loading facilities in the Port of Hampton Roads are able to load in excess of 65 million tons annually, giving the port the largest, most efficient and modern coal loading facilities in the world. </p><p>It is little surprise therefore that the Hampton Roads region's economic base is largely port-related, including shipbuilding, ship repair, naval installations, cargo transfer and storage, and manufacturing related to the processing of imports and exports. Associated with the ports' military role are almost 50,000 federal civilian employees. </p><p>The harbor of Hampton Roads is an important highway of commerce, especially for the cities of <a href="/wiki/Norfolk,_Virginia" title="Norfolk, Virginia">Norfolk</a>, <a href="/wiki/Portsmouth,_Virginia" title="Portsmouth, Virginia">Portsmouth</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Newport_News,_Virginia" title="Newport News, Virginia">Newport News</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-EB1911_16-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EB1911-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Huntington_Ingalls_Industries" title="Huntington Ingalls Industries">Huntington Ingalls Industries</a> (formerly Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company), was created in 2008 as a spinoff of <a href="/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_Newport_News" class="mw-redirect" title="Northrop Grumman Newport News">Northrop Grumman Newport News</a> and is the world's largest <a href="/wiki/Shipyard" title="Shipyard">shipyard</a>.
