Nansemond River

Virginian colonists named the river for the Nansemond tribe of Native Americans, who had long inhabited the area.

The river begins at the outlet of Lake Meade north of downtown Suffolk, which had historically marked the northern boundary of the city.

The Nansemond National Wildlife Refuge is located along the river.
