Colonial Heights County, located in the great state of Virginia, is not actually a county but an independent city named Colonial Heights. Its history dates back to the 17th century when it was part of Henrico Shire in 1634 (later becoming Henrico County). The area was primarily used for agricultural purposes and was the site of several plantations along the Appomattox River.

During the American Revolutionary War, Colonial Heights played an essential role, as it was visited by General Marquis de Lafayette and his army in 1781. The area saw significant conflict during the Civil War, especially the Battle of Swift Creek in 1864, which transpired on what is now the city's western border.

Colonial Heights was officially incorporated as a town in 1926 and became an independent city, separate from Chesterfield County, in 1948. The city's name is said to have been inspired by a group of tall trees that stood above the landscape, which were visible to British ships sailing on the Appomattox River during the Revolutionary War. These trees served as a navigational landmark and were referred to as the Colonial heights, giving the city its present name.

Fun Fact: Colonial Heights is home to the Violet Bank Museum, which served as General Robert E. Lee's headquarters during the famous Siege of Petersburg in the Civil War. The museum now preserves and showcases the area's rich history and artifacts, attracting history buffs from all over the country.
