Best Answer

De-facto Chesapeake is a county containing cities, not a city itself. In 1963 Norfolk County redesinated itself the "Independent city" of Chesapeake for legal reasons. Incorporated cities in Virginia (in Virginia terminology "independent cities") have almost the full rights and autonomy of counties, and due to a loophole (or perhaps more of a legal quirk then a loophole) a county can redesinate itself as an Independent city. Counties do for legal reasons, to keep actual cities from annexing their land
