History of Williamsburg, VA
Williamsburg, VA, is steeped in tradition and history. Colonial Williamsburg, a district in the city that has been preserved to perpetually resemble the Colonial era of the 1700s, attracts tourist and history buffs who want to be fully immersed in a historical experience. Williamsburg was settled in 1638 by colonists for ease of travel on nearby waterways. Unlike other cities on the Virginia Peninsula, Williamsburg lies well above sea level, providing it with an unusual natural protection from Native American attacks. After the burning of Jamestown during one such attack, the capital of the Virginia Colony was moved to Williamsburg, and one of the first institutions of higher education was established - the College of William and Mary - by Thomas Jefferson. As the birthplace to many traditionally American ideas, Williamsburg remains an important city and a benchmark of American progress. |
