Williamsburg history

Williamsburg was the capital of the British colony of Virginia from 1699. The town was first called "Middle Plantation", but was renamed Williamsburg in honor of King William III of England. The College of William and Mary was established in the town in 1693. The town was granted a royal charter as a city in 1722.

In 1780, during the American Revolutionary War, the capital was moved to Richmond at the urging of then-Governor Thomas Jefferson, who was afraid that Williamsburg's location made it vulnerable to a British attack.

During the American Civil War, the Battle of Williamsburg was fought nearby on May 5, 1862, during the Peninsula Campaign.

In the early 20th century, John D. Rockefeller financed a project to restore a large portion of the city's 18th century buildings to their original condition. The restored area is known as Colonial Williamsburg.
