		Chickahominy also known as "the Chick" is a river in the southeastern portion of the U.S. state of Virginia, near which several battles of the United States Civil War were fought in 1862 and 1864.
		The Chickahominy River is a Coastal Plain tributary to the James River (Virginia) with headwaters northwest of Richmond, Virginia in the Fall Zone.
