Petersburg. familiarly known as the, "Co- ckade City," is a thriving city, situated on the south bank of the Appomattox river, 22 miles south of Richmond, on the great through lines via the Norfolk and Western railroad to the southwest, and Atlantic Coast line and Sea- board Air Line to the south. The place was founded by Peter Jones, a warm friend and fellow traveller with William Byrd ( the foun- der of the City of Richmond), in 1733, the two having conceived the plan of building two large commercial marts for the benefit of the country adjacent thereto, at the head of navi- gation of the waters of the James and Appo- mattox rivers. Thus it gets its name of Petersburg from that of Peter Jones, its founder. In 1748 Petersburg was incorpo- rated, and Blandford, Pocahontas and Ravens- croft united with it. The city has become, in a commercial point of view, a place of con- siderable importance. By their energy and indomitable spirit her merchants have suc- ceeded in penetrating an immense extent of back country, which throws into her lap a trade sufficient to support a city of the first- class. Her citizens have not been unmind- ful of the necessity of affording means of trans- portation coastwise and have for years, aided by the general government, been engaged in the enterprise of deepening the channel of the river, so as to make it navigable for vessels of heavy burden. Manufacturing is carried on in its various branches on an extensive scale. particular in cotton and tobacco. There are also several trunk factories, machine shops and foundries doing an extensive business. The water power is very valuable and the city has an abundant supply of fine water brought in conduits from never-failing springs in the neighborhood. The Appomattox canal. penetrating the rich tobacco country. beyond, and the City Point branch of the Norfolk and Western are among the other internal Im- provements that aid its commercial interests. Petersburg became fanions in American his- tory as being one of the important scenes of the expiring struggles of the Southern Con- federacy.
