According to James Hagemann, in his book "The Heritage of Virginia - The Story of Place Names in the Old Dominion" Colonial Heights received it sname during the American Revolution. The British, under Benedict Arnold, had captured Petersburg and were preparing to move north to capture Richmond. To block this attack, a Colonial Army regiment, under Lafayette, defended from the heights across the Appomattox River, thus earning the place (now Colonial Heights) the name "Colonial Heights."
