Hampton is another one of the seven cities that is rich in Virginia history. Home to Hampton University, Langley Air Force Base, NASA Langley Research Center, and the Virginia Air and Space Center, Hampton has become a very attractive area to both live and work. Hampton maintains lots of waterfront homes and beaches for its residents and visitors, and shopping options have grown with the addition of the Peninsula Town Center. For entertainment, the resort area of Buckroe Beach draws thousands during the spring and summer months, while the Hampton Coliseum and Convention Center host wonderful events year-round.
