Citizen Information - City Symbol

The Blue Heron
The Serene Essence of Chesapeake

Words and Ideas that have been used to describe Chesapeake . . .

Rural	Lovely
Peaceful	Quiet
Charming	Slow paced
Friendly	Homey
Serene	Family oriented

 

All of these are true, and yet Chesapeake also has hotels, businesses, industry and much activity that might be missed at first glance.

 

We have rivers, marshes, The Dismal Swamp and lakes.

 

 

The Citizen’s Symbol for Chesapeake committee took all of this and much more into consideration in making its decision and choice.

 

The icon embodies all of these ideas and more. 

 

 

For while the icon appears to be just standing there, it is hard at work -- busy, all of the time.

 

 

 

Peaceful, quiet, lovely, slow paced, BUT it is always hard at work -- which may go unnoticed. 

 

 

You will now notice it more often throughout our great City.
