Gloucester County is rich in history and farmland. Its fishing industry is important to the state as well. It has a retail center located around the main street area of the county seat.

Gloucester County is self-nicknamed the Daffodil Capital of the World it hosts an annual daffodil festival, parade and flower show. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Gloucester was developed as a major tobacco-producing area this was the chief commodity crop and the basis of the wealth of major planters. Many of the old plantation houses and private estates have been preserved in good condition. These establishments are periodically open to public visitation during Historic Garden Week. Examples of colonial architecture are the Episcopal churches of Ware 1690 and Abingdon 1755, where Presidents Washington and Jefferson worshiped. Some early colonial buildings at the county seat on Courthouse Green continue to be used for public purposes. During the 17th century, the tip of land protruding into the York River was named Tyndall's Point by Robert Tyndall, mapmaker for Captain John Smith. In 1667, colonists built fortifications there, at what was then called Gloucester Point. These defenses were rebuilt and strengthened many times from the colonial period through the American Civil War. This site is also known for the Second Surrender by General Charles Lord Cornwallis to General George Washington at Yorktown.
