The "roads" refers to a place where a ship can ride at anchor, relatively safe from displacement by strong currents or storms. Today Hampton Roads is a cultural region. Hampton Roads is the East Coast epicenter of military activity. Every branch of the armed services is represented here. From the largest Navy base in the world to one of the most secretive facilities used by the CIA.
