Chesapeake Bay is a translation of the Powhatan Indian word "chesepiooc" , meaning "Great Shellfish Bays." At the time of the first European settlement, this tidewater area was inhabited by an estimated 13,000 to 14,000 Powhatan Indians. Since those early explorations, the bay waters have been traveled by all manner of ships, often ones specifically designed or modified to sail the Chesapeake's shallow waters. The first light house built by the United States was built in 1792 at Cape Henry, marking the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay.

Chesapeake Character Grade Pine flooring is a traditional country-rustic look that adds warmth and charm to any home. A light butterscotch stain is just darker than natural and mellows the dark to light transitions of the wood. Plank Pine is a fit for the mountain cabin or the up-town loft, the colonial mansion or the weekend condo. Shortleaf, Loblolly Pine has been a staple home interior since the Pioneer days. As with all of our flooring products, Chesapeake is American grown, American made, and a true monument to our American heritage.
