You’ll find Westham’s ghost town roots in colonial Virginia, where it emerged as an essential trading post in 1750 along the James River Fall Line. The town flourished as a cargo transfer point where ships couldn’t navigate past dangerous rapids, leading to bustling warehouses and commercial activity. By 1930, urban development transformed Westham into a Richmond suburb, though archaeological sites and the historic Westham Station still hold clues to its prosperous past.
