The area was continuously occupied after 1610. It became part of Elizabeth River Shire in 1634 , and Elizabeth City County in 1637 . In the 1690s, Kecoughtan became part of the newly incorporated Town of Hampton, which later became an Independent City . Elizabeth City County and its only incorporated town, Phoebus , both agreed to a consolidation with Hampton in 1952 , forming the current City Of Hampton . Through the Kecoughtan settlement, Hampton is the home of the oldest continually occupied English settlement in the U.S.A. In an area immediately to the south of the original settlement, many years later, the Incorporated Town of Kecoughtan was developed and existed in Elizabeth City County before it was annexed by the independent city of Newport News on January 1 , 1927 .
