Hampton claims a long place in American history, settled in 1610 and shaped by the Chesapeake Bay ever since. Fort Monroe, a stone fortress at Old Point Comfort, guarded the entrance to Hampton Roads for generations and later became a national monument. The Virginia Air and Space Science Center in downtown Hampton connects visitors to NASA Langley research and spaceflight history, while Hampton University, founded in 1868, anchors the city's educational life. Hampton Coliseum has hosted concerts and events for decades, and the waterfront gives the city beaches, marinas, and seafood restaurants.
