Book excerpt: Phoebus, Virginia has been called many things. Kecoughtan, Mill Creek, Elizabeth City, and Chesapeake City have been some of the official names on maps over the years. The unofficial ones have ranged greatly from "Little Chicago", due to its connection with the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and bootlegging during Prohibition, to the garden spot of Hampton, depending on the time period and the people you ask. This book pulls together hundreds of photos from Phoebus history, from the dawn of photography during the Civil War to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, to provide a glimpse of the people and places that made Phoebus what it is today.
