<span> <span>The strategic crossroads northeast of Richmond is the “Cold Harbor”.

The Battle of the Cold Harbor was on the final battles fought in 1864 during the American Civil War. The Peninsular Campaign led to a combat in between the Union led by Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and the army of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

When Grant was not able to break the lines drawn by Lee in Spotsylvania both the armies headed towards the Anna River that was only 25 miles from Richmond.

After this battle, Grant continued to pursue his goal of attacking the capital of the Confederate, which led to another battle just 8 miles from the northeast of Richmond, which was in the vicinity of the strategic crossroads northeast of Richmond, called Cold Harbor.

The name Cold Harbor was derived from the name of a tavern and the place was situated in between the rivers Chickahominy and Pamunkey.
