The town, built on wooden piles, is located at the southern end of the Venetian Lagoon, about 25 kilometers by sea from Venice. It is nicknamed "Little Venice" because of its similarity to the metropolitan city. Chioggia is connected to the mainland by a stone bridge. The Vena Canal divides the town and is crossed by nine bridges.

Legend has it that Antenor, Aquil and Clodio, who fled from the Trojan War, settled on the upper Adriatic coast. Aquil is said to have founded Aquileia, Antenor Padua and Clodio Clodia. Pliny described the port city of Edron, which was later called Fossa Clodia. Over time, the name Clodia changed to Cluza and Clugia, before finally becoming Chioggia. The first mentions of the city can be found in Byzantine writings from the fifth century.
