Description

IT WAS NOT A HAPPY BEGINNING. The town that was to become the city of Hampton sprang up in the midst of the Indian settlement of Kecoughtan after the natives were driven off by the English, who then - God-fearing to the core - created a church to serve the new community. It was July 9, 1610, the date that marks not only the founding of Hampton but of the oldest Protestant parish in America, St. John's Episcopal Church. And, like the city, St. John's is one year shy of its 400th anniversary.
