After the CivilWar, the Hampton Normal School (“Normal” meaning to establish
standards or norms while educating teachers) was formalized in 1868, with former Union brevet
Brigadier General Samuel ChapmanArmstrong (1839-1893) as its first principal.The new school
was established on the grounds of a former plantation named “Little Scotland,” which had a view
of Hampton Roads.The original school buildings fronted the Hampton River. Legally chartered in
1870 as a land grant school, it was first known as Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute.
