Hampton Roads is the name of both a body of water and the land areas which surround it in southeastern Virginia in the United States.
The water area known as Hampton Roads (informally "the harbor") is one of the world's greatest natural harbors, and incorporates the mouths of the Elizabeth River and James River with several smaller rivers and itself empties into the Chesapeake Bay near its mouth leading to the Atlantic Ocean.
The land area includes most of the counties, cities and towns in the southeastern corner of Virginia and parts of Northeastern North Carolina. For statistical purposes, officially known as the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, VA-NC MSA, the Hampton Roads area has a population of about 1.6 million and is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the southeastern United States, as well as the largest between Washington, D.C. and Atlanta. Hampton Roads is notable for U.S. naval and air force facilities, shipbuilding and repair yards, coal piers, miles of waterfront property and beaches, all of which contribute to the diversity and stability of the area's economy.
