Chesapeake
About 250,000 people.
Chesapeake is a large, green city with lots of parks, farms, and waterways. It is a friendly place where nature and neighborhoods live close together.
You can paddle a canoe in the Great Dismal Swamp, watch boats float through the locks on the Dismal Swamp Canal, and pick fresh strawberries at local farms in the spring.
