​​
"Early in the 20th Century, one man had a dream of creating a modern golf and country club on the banks of the James River. The late Lewis McMurran, Sr. envisioned a club that would round out the social and athletic life of the community. Unfortunately, he died before his dream came to fruition, but an enthusiastic group of Peninsula citizens carried out his concept. The doors and gates were officially opened on Saturday, July 2, 1932. To this day, James River Country Club is still providing residents of the Peninsula a wonderful gathering place where multiple generations of families raise their children, celebrate holidays, and make memories that last a lifetime.
On the Club's 100th Anniversary of, July 2, 2032, a time capsule will be opened containing documents and artifacts from the opening years of James River Country Club."
