Fort Henry was established on the site of Petersburg in 1645-46. The community later developed around a trading post built (circa 1675) near the fort by Major Peter Jones, for whom the settlement was named, first as Peter's Point and, by the late 18th century, as Petersburg. During the American Revolution the community was captured by the British. Late in the American Civil War, Petersburg (by then an important manufacturing and transportation center) was the scene of a successful ten-month siege by Union forces under General Ulysses S. Grant. The fall of Petersburg to federal troops on April 2, 1865, led directly to the Union capture of Richmond. Many sites of the Petersburg campaign are in Petersburg National Battlefield.
