    Great Bridge - The Battle of Great Bridge. Located near Norfolk, Virginia this was the site of the first military action of the Revolution in the colony. The battle was fought on the long causeway from which "Great Bridge" originated. Though the fight lasted only a short time the British loss was heavy. The Americans ultimately forced Lord Dunmore and his Tory force to seek refuge aboard ships in the nearby harbor.
