Walters, Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Walters is an unincorporated community located in Isle of Wight County in the Hampton Roads region of southeastern Virginia in the USA.
Walters was located on a now-abandoned portion of the Virginian Railway (VGN), built by industrialist Henry Huttleston Rogers to ship coal from West Virginia to port at Sewell's Point, near Norfolk. Completed in 1909, the VGN was merged into the Norfolk and Western Railway in 1959. The former railroad right-of-way now carries an important pipeline which transports fresh water to communities in South Hampton Roads.
