Colonial Bay is a medium-sized city of about a half-million people
nestled snugly on the western bank of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia,
on the east coast of the USA. Colonial Bay is one of the oldest cities
in Virginia, and has lots of landmarks and old historical sites. It is
a tourist area in the summer, boasting a beautiful stretch of bay-side
beach, and a historic park from a battle between the English and the
French prior to the revolution, called What Marsh Battlefield
(affectionately known to the local residents as 'Battlefield Park.'
Colonial Bay was founded during the initial settlement of the Virginia
Colony. In the late 1700s, one of Virginia's earliest institutions of
higher education, then called Coloial College, was founded, and since
then, Colonial Bay has been your typical college town. Colonial
College became Colonial Bay State University in 1872, and currently
has an enrollment of over 30,000 students.

In addition to the standard "college town" shops and businesses around
the campus (coffee shops, bookstores, etc), Colonial Bay has one of
the largest malls in the Chesapeake Bay area, Boradwalk Mall, and of
course, a nice beach and boardwalk.  Shoreline Restaurant is a 5-star
place to eat. There is also a port, which does much business with
nearby Richmond and Washington DC, giving them both easy access to the
sea. Finally, there is a historic old lighthouse on an island just off
the coast of the city, which is visited by nearly 200,000 tourists a year.

& city hist
-------------------------[ Champions MUSH Events ]--------------------------
Colonial Bay was founded by settlers early in the days of the Virginia
Colony. It figured prominently during the Revolutionary war, and was
the site of a battle between French and English forces. Shortly after
the Revolution, Colonial College was founded, and eventually grew, in
1868, into Colonial Bay State University, one of the top-rated State
Universities in the country. CBSU formed the hub around which the city
grew up. It was a college town with a port, and so there was much
commerce to be found, either in catering to the 30,000 students, or by
engaging in some aspect of trade and shipping through the
port. Colonial Bay is part of Historic Virginia, and has many
landmarks that draw history-buffs and tourists from all over the
country. Its mild Virginian climate, with southern hospitality, nice
beaches, and White Marsh Battlefield Park, also draw many visitors in
the summer months.
