Littleton Tazewell (1774-1860) Littleton Waller Tazewell was a prominent Virginia lawyer and statesman whose family owned extensive land holdings on the Eastern Shore in the 18th and 19th centuries. He served as Governor of Virginia from 1834-1836 and represented the Commonwealth in the US Senate from 1825-1832. He was born in Williamsburg in 1774 and graduated from The College of William and Mary School of Law. In 1883, the Governor’s heirs sold 2,509 acres to William Scott to build the railroad on Virginia’s Eastern Shore, of which 136 acres became the site of the Town of Cape Charles.

Getting Around
Cape Charles is located near the southern tip of Virginia’s Eastern Shore right on the Chesapeake Bay. Cape Charles is a small town (the historic area is roughly a six block by six block square) that sits on the peninsula’s western coast… meaning you can sit on the beach in Cape Charles and watch the sunset right over the water. On the Chesapeake Bay, not the Atlantic Ocean, the water is calm and shallow. The picturesque town of Cape Charles is filled with Americana, all about family and beautiful surroundings, voted one of the Happiest Seaside Towns by Coastal Living. Let the beach be your playground! Check out the walkable retail district, schedule a tee time at one of Bay Creek's award-winning golf courses, or take a water adventure for fishing and cruising.
