On the shores of the Chesapeake Bay in southern Virginia sits the city of Poquoson. Poquoson was founded in 1631 by the early English colonists. The settlement proudly holds the record as one of the longest named settlements in all of Virginia, however, Poquoson didn’t receive independent cityship until as recently as 1975. Also known as Bull Island because of the old practice of letting the herds of cattle roam the salt marshes, Poquoson has grown and adapted to the world around it. The site of colonial living, historic battles, and rural communities for hundreds of years, Poquoson is now a calm seaside town with a tight-knit community feel, although you won’t see any cattle in the salt marshes. When you book an RV rental in Poquoson, you will get to explore the area and come to understand just why so many people love “Bull Island”.
