Hiding in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant, this sad little marker denotes the history of this small town. The marker reads: «Settled as Mill Creek and Strawberry Banks by English Colonists, the Town of Phoebus was „Roseland Farm“ until 1871 when it was divided into lots and became known as Chesapeake City. When the town was incorporated in 1900, it was named Phoebus in honor of its leading citizen, Harrison Phoebus.»
