Independent City of Norfolk
Seventeenth-century records first mention Norfolk as a community in 1680 established by an Act of Assembly. The town's name apparently derives from the former English county home of the same name of Adam Thoroughgood, an early settler on the site. Norfolk incorporated as a borough (town) in 1736 and as a city in 1845. In 1906 Norfolk City annexed the adjacent town of Berkeley and reached its present size. The city of Norfolk's court records begin with court records in 1761, probate and land records in 1784, and marriage records in 1803. The only records earlier than that are the minutes of the common Council, dating from 1736 when the community was elevated to the status of a borough.
