Early History of Gloucester County

Native Americans lived in Virginia for thousands of years prior to the arrival of English colonists at Jamestown in 1607. The stronghold of Chief Wahunsenacawh was located nearby along the York River at Werowocomoco. As the population of colonists grew, they forcibly occupied lands of the Powhatan Indians. In 1634, the colony was divided into eight "shires or counties and in 1651, Gloucester County was established. The following year, the countys first courthouse was built. Gloucester County was named for Henry Stuart, Duke of Gloucester, third son of King Charles I.
