Did you know that in 1609 Captain John Smith was interested in the oyster beds in the Nansemond River. The English settlers recognized the opportunity that they would have there. In 1742 the town of Suffolk was born, named after the Governor’s home of Suffolk County, England. Today Suffolk has the largest city by land area in Virginia, and the 11th largest in the United States. The city is famous for its prosperous peanut growing and processing, begun in 1912 by Amedeo Obici, founder of Planters Peanut Co.
