Williamsburg is a city in the U.S. state of Virginia. As of the 2010 U.S. Census, the population was 14,068. In 2019,
the population was estimated at 14,954.[6] Located on the Virginia Peninsula, Williamsburg is in the northern part of
the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. It is bordered by James City County and York County.
Williamsburg was founded in 1632 as Middle Plantation, a fortified settlement on high ground between the James
and York rivers. The city was the capital of the Colony and Commonwealth of Virginia from 1699 to 1780 and the center
of political events in Virginia leading to the American Revolution. The College of William & Mary, established in 1693,
is the second-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and the only one of the nine colonial colleges in
the South. Its alumni include three U.S. presidents as well as many other important figures in the nation's early history.
The city's tourism-based economy is driven by Colonial Williamsburg, the city's restored Historic Area. Along with
nearby Jamestown and Yorktown, Williamsburg forms part of the Historic Triangle, which annually attracts more than four
million tourists.[7] Modern Williamsburg is also a college town, inhabited in large part by William & Mary students, faculty
and staff.
