The written History of Virginia begins with documentation by the first Spanish explorers to reach the area in the 1500s, when it was occupied chiefly by Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Siouan peoples. In 1607, English colonization began in Virginia with Jamestown, which would become the first permanent English settlement in North America. The Virginia Company colony was looking for gold and spices, and land to grow crops, however they would find no fortunes in the area, and struggled to maintain a food supply. The famine during the harsh winter of 1609 forced the colonists to eat leather from their clothes and boots, and resort to cannibalism. In 1610, survivors would abandon Jamestown, although they returned after meeting a resupply convoy in the James River.

  • La Virginie est la première colonie anglaise d'Amérique du Nord. Fondée en 1584, elle disparut ensuite pendant une vingtaine d'années et ne prit son essor que lors d'une première vague d'immigration blanche, pendant la Première Révolution anglaise, puis noire lors de l'expansion des grandes plantations de tabac, après la Restauration anglaise en 1660. Au XVIIIe siècle, elle est le berceau de nombreux dirigeants militaires lors de la Guerre de Sept Ans puis lors de la Guerre d'indépendance ainsi que le point de départ des premières tentatives de s'étendre vers l'Ouest, comme la Ohio Company.

  • La historia de Virginia sobre la que existen registros, comenzó hace miles de años con el asentamiento en la región geográfica ahora conocida como la Commonwealth de Virginia en los Estados Unidos, por los indios americanos. El establecimiento europeo permanente no ocurrió hasta el establecimiento de Jamestown en 1607, por colonos ingleses. Cuando el tabaco surgió como una exportación provechosa, Virginia importó trabajadores africanos para cultivarlo y endureció los límites legales de la esclavitud. La Colonia de Virginia se convirtió la colonia británica más rica y poblada de Norteamérica. (es)
  • Письменная История Вирджинии начинается в XVI веке, когда испанцы впервые обнаружили эту территорию, населённую алгонкинскими, ирокезскими и сиу индейскими племенами. В 1607 году был основан Джеймстаун, первое постоянное английское поселение в Северной Америке. Условия жизни в колонии оказались настолько тяжёлыми, что поселенцы покинули город в 1610 году, но вскоре вернулись обратно. Вскоре удалось наладить выращивание табака, который производился в основном на больших плантациях с использованием рабского труда. Первое время допускалось освобождение рабов, но после 1662 года они превратились в наследственную социальную группу. Весь XVII век вирджинцам приходилось вести войны с индейскими племенами, но после 1700 года столкновения случались только на западной границе. Самые крупные конфликт (ru)
