===Tidewater===

The Tidewater or "Coastal Plain" of Virginia is bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by the ''Fall Line''. The ''Fall Line'' is so named because it traces a line where many waterfalls occur in Virginia Rivers. The Tidewater Region was the first region of Virginia to be settled by Europeans, and is home to many of the oldest English settlements in North America, such as [[Jamestown]]. The dominant geographical feature of the region is the [[Chesapeake_Bay | Chesapeake Bay]] and rivers in the region are generally broad, deep and gentle. Perfect for major ports such as [[Norfolk]] or [[Newport News]].
