Description
Ghent, perhaps more than any other Norfolk suburb, has a story to tell that transcends its historic port city lineage, reaching national importance in its planning and execution.
The Ghent District is a historic and treasured neighborhood within Norfolk, and though the story of its origins have been muddied over the years, its legacy is clear, as the Ghent Historic District has been on the National Registry of Historic Places since 1980. Despite changing times and tastes, Ghent's period architecture, tree-lined streets, and attractive waterfront location combine to ensure that Ghent will remain a beloved, integral area of Norfolk for generations.
