Poquoson, Virginia, often referred to as Bull Island, is a small but historically rich independent city located on the Virginia Peninsula in the Hampton Roads region. Established in 1952 as an incorporated town and later becoming an independent city in 1975, Poquoson’s roots stretch back to its founding in 1631. Originally part of York County, the city still shares certain services with its neighboring county, such as courts and law enforcement. The city’s name, derived from a Native American word meaning "great marsh," reflects the area’s geographic features and its longstanding connection to the land and water.

Traditionally, Poquoson was known for its maritime industries, with fishing, boating, and seafood playing key roles in the local economy. Today, the city balances its rural roots with suburban growth, offering residents a peaceful community surrounded by protected wetlands. Despite modern development, Poquoson holds onto its identity as Bull Islanders, a name stemming from the days when cattle roamed the marshes. The Poquoson Seafood Festival remains a beloved annual tradition, celebrating the city's maritime and cultural heritage.

The city is governed by a seven-member City Council, including an elected mayor, and continues to lean conservatively in both local and national elections. Poquoson provides public education through its four schools, serving students from kindergarten through high school. While there are no private schools or higher education institutions within the city, residents have access to nearby universities and colleges in neighboring areas.

Geographically, Poquoson is surrounded by water, making it a beautiful but flood-prone area. Severe storms like Hurricane Isabel and Hurricane Irene caused significant flooding in the past, prompting many residents to elevate their homes to protect against future damage. Despite these challenges, Poquoson’s blend of natural beauty, tight-knit community, and rich history continues to make it a unique and cherished city in Virginia.
