County Information[edit | edit source]
Description[edit | edit source]
The City of Poquoson is located in the Eastern portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The term "poquoson" was used to describe a boundary line between 2 elevated tracts of land. Such a boundary contained a stream, river, or creek with its adjoining marsh which lay between 2 tracts of higher ground. Poquoson was used as a common noun and is found in many deeds along the eastern seaboard. Through the years the term became a proper noun for the land that lies between 2 such poquosons - the Old Poquoson River and the New Poquoson River. Hence, Poquoson, Virginia was established and has remained[1].
