Capitalizing on the Virginia Capital Trail Capitalizing on the VIRGINIA CAPITAL TRAIL A guide for development in Charles City County, Virginia Background and Purpose The Virginia Capital Trail is an off-road bicycle and pedestrian trail which will run 52 miles from the Commonwealth’s capital of Richmond, to the historic capitals of Jamestown and Williamsburg. The completed trail will begin in downtown Richmond City and pass through the eastern half of Henrico County, and all of Charles City County before crossing the Chickahominy River into James City County. The Charles City County Courthouse is located at the advantageous midpoint of the trail. The opportunities represented by the trail will benefit not only the counties through which the trail passes but the region and the state.

It has been in constant use since its creation over 400 years ago, and runs between Richmond , Jamestown and Williamsburg. Route 5 in Charles City County is best known for the five historic James River plantations along it; the historic nature of the road is an important asset in the tourist experience, and is therefore economically important to the county. The Virginia Capital Trail runs directly along Route 5, or John Tyler Memorial Highway, from Richmond to Williamsburg, and crosses the Chickahominy River by the Judith Stewart Dresser Bridge. Route 5 is a designated Virginia Scenic Byway, and roughly parallels the James River, though the river is not visible from the road. Along its way, Route 5 passes several historic Virginia Plantations, including Shirley, Berkley, and Westover. The Sherwood Forest phase of the trail is named for Sherwood Forest Plantation, where President John Tyler lived after leaving the White House in 1845, and which the Tyler family still owns. Route 5 is arguably one of the most historic corridors in the nation, and certainly in Virgina. It has been in use since the first capitals were established in Williamsburg and Jamestown, and was the access to these beautiful plantations.

The surveys also showed that 66 percent of survey respondents considered the trail a strong influence in their decisions to visit the area, and 17 percent said that their decision was somewhat influenced. The potential for economic impact in the county and along the corridor is huge. Non-local users are likely to spend the night, patronizing local hotels and bed and breakfasts, as well as restaurants and shops. The Washington and Old Dominion (W & OD) trail in Northern Virginia, an off-road biking and pedestrian trail very similar to the Virginia Capital Trail, attracts more than 2 million visitors a year. Local users spend an average of $10 a day along the trail, while non-locals spend an average of $17 per day. The Capital Trail Foundation has also counted trail users. On one counter they recorded over 50,000 users on one section of the trail, and project that once completed, the trail will attract 200,000 users in the first few years after the trail is completed in 2014. With marketing, they say, the number can be far greater. 161 1 Chickahominy %$ ¤£301 Bluffs ¤£250 ¤£33 National Battlefield %$197 %$6 ¨¦§95 ¤£360 Virginia Capital Trail %$197 Richmond %$147 6 %$ ¨¦§64 ¤£250 76 ¤£360 %$156 %$ 195 %$ ¨¦§95 295 capitol 33 33 ¨¦§ 33 square %$ %$ %$ 249 161 kanawha Richmond %$ %$ plaza 156 Riverfront %$ %$33 76 Phase 249 %$ ¨¦§64 %$ %$249 ¤£60 £360 33 60 ¤ ¤£ 106 %$ 64 %$ 155 ¨¦§ %$ 249 60 %$ 1 richmond ¤£ £301 ¤ international 156 airport %$ MCCOUL al mo 33 nd c ¤£60 r.

    Charles City County Business Directory County Guide Compiled September 1998 By: Charles City County Department of Planning January 2016 **Please contact the Department of Planning to report any incorrect information** Introduction Charles City County is a quiet, rural haven located in the east-central portion of the Commonwealth of Virginia. In 1634, the colonial General Assembly met at Jamestown and divided the Virginia Colony into eight shires, similar to those in England. These were Accomack, Charles River, Henrico, Elizabeth City, James City, Warwick River, Warrosquyoake and Charles City. The Charles City shire was named for the English King's son, Charles, who later became King Charles I. When first established, Charles City comprised a large area on both sides of the James River, but gradually it lost land area to the formation of other counties. Settlement in Charles City County began as early as 1613. Many of the famous estates were patented in these early years. Charles Carter built Shirley Plantation about 1769. It is believed to be the first Virginia plantation. Today the Carter family still owns Shirley Plantation. Benjamin Harrison, IV, built the Berkeley Plantation mansion in 1726. Berkeley was the birthplace of Benjamin Harrison, V, a signer of the Declaration of Independence and Governor of Virginia. Berkeley was also the home of William Henry Harrison, the ninth President of the United States. John Tyler, tenth President of the United States, purchased Sherwood Forest in 1842. William Byrd, III, a notable Virginia planter, author, and colonial official constructed Westover Plantation about 1730. Evelynton Plantation was originally part of William Byrd's expansive Westover Plantation.

  • Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865)
    Early History of Thoroughbred Horses in Virginia (1730-1865) Old Capitol at Williamsburg with Guests shown on Horseback and in a Horse-drawn Carriage Virginia History Series #11-08 © 2008 First Horse Races in North America/Virginia (1665/1674) The first race-course in North America was built on the Salisbury Plains (now known as the Hempstead Plains) of Long Island, New York in 1665. The present site of Belmont Park is on the Western edge of the Hempstead Plains. In 1665, the first horse racing meet in North America was held at this race-course called “Newmarket” after the famous track in England. These early races were match events between two or three horses and were run in heats at a distance of 3 or 4 miles; a horse had to complete in at least two heats to be judged the winner. By the mid-18th century, single, "dash" races of a mile or so were the norm. Virginia's partnership with horses began back in 1610 with the arrival of the first horses to the Virginia colonies. Forward thinking Virginia colonists began to improve upon the speed of these short stocky horses by introducing some of the best early imports from England into their local bloodlines. Horse racing has always been popular in Virginia, especially during Colonial times when one-on-one matches took place down village streets, country lanes and across level pastures. Some historians claim that the first American Horse races were held near Richmond in Enrico County (now Henrico County), Virginia, in 1674. A Match Race at Tucker’s Quarter Paths – painting by Sam Savitt Early Racing in America Boston vs Fashion (The Great Match Race) Importation of Thoroughbreds into America The first Thoroughbred horse imported into the American Colonies was Bulle Rock (GB), who was imported in 1730 by Samuel Gist of Hanover County, Virginia.

  • History 216-02: "From the Founding of Jamestown Through the American Revolution"
    History 216-02: "From the Founding of Jamestown through the American Revolution" J.P. Whittenburg Fall 2009 Email: [email protected] Office: Young House (205 Griffin Avenue) Web Page: http://faculty.wm.edu/jpwhit Telephone: 757-221-7654 Office Hours: By Appointment Clearly, this isn't your typical class. For one thing, we meet all day on Wednesdays. For another, we will spend most of our class time "on-site" at archaeological excavations, museums, or inside historic buildings. This class will concentrate on the period from the founding of Jamestown in 1607 through roughly the death of George Washington in 1799, but it is not at all a narrative that follows a neat timeline. I’ll make no attempt to touch on every important theme and we’ll depart from the chronological approach whenever targets of opportunities present themselves. As we have another course (History 220) that deals exclusively with Colonial Williamsburg, this class will focus mainly on “not-Colonial Williamsburg.” By this I simply mean that, instead of taking you to "CW" for a series of field trips, I will make a few assignments for you to visit specific places and events there on week days prior to our Wednesday class meetings. The Historic Area is easily accessible by foot and your William & Mary ID cards will get you into all the exhibitions. These are not optional activities: we'll incorporate what you see and hear at CW into our class discussions. I'll begin most classes with some sort of short background session—a clip from a movie, oral reports, or maybe something from the Internet.
