Williamsburg History
It's the 1900's
It's the 1900's in Virginia. There is quite a lot going on with the land as it is subdivided, explored, and documented. These maps tell a story about how the Ancestors navigated the Rivers and the Land to form what is now known as Williamsburg. When looking for your Ancestors - pay special attention to the year when you are mapping their journey. Place names change over time in History. We hope these maps clarify and help in your discovery process.
