The neighborhood was founded by residential developer Clarence Byler in the 1950s after he noticed a new golf course, Kempsville Greens, had opened up near where he had recently been building homes.

Byler would go on to honor his friend further by naming the main thoroughfare through the neighborhood, Edwin Drive.

[1][2] Larkspur is located in the Kempsville area of Virginia Beach and is within walking distance of Mt.

Kempsville Meadows Elementary is located at the corner of Edwin and Princess Anne; just at the edge of the neighborhood and walking distance for most homes.

The league consists of several committees, including Membership/Hospitality, Newsletter, Website, Programs, and Garden Club.
