From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

**Great Neck Point** is a point of land and neighborhood on the [Lynnhaven River](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynnhaven_River "Lynnhaven River") in [Virginia Beach](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Beach "Virginia Beach"), Virginia, United States. It is home to the [Adam Keeling House](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Keeling_House "Adam Keeling House") and the Keeling family cemetery.[1]

Before the area was settled by the English colonists, [Chesepioc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesepioc_\(settlement\) "Chesepioc \(settlement\)") was located at Great Neck Point. It was a village of the [Chesepians](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesepian "Chesepian"), the [Native American](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Americans_of_the_United_States "Native Americans of the United States") (American Indian) inhabitants of the area during the [Woodland Period](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodland_Period "Woodland Period") and later prior to the arrival of the English settlers in 1607. [Archaeologists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeologist "Archaeologist") and other persons have found numerous Native American artifacts, such as arrowheads, stone axes, pottery, beads, and skeletons in Great Neck Point.[2]
