Williamsburg's historic core

Williamsburg developed from Middle Plantation and became Virginia's colonial capital in 1699 after the government moved inland from Jamestown.

Its modern visitor identity is closely tied to the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg, William & Mary, and its position at the center of the Historic Triangle.
