http://www.virginiaplaces.org/boundaries/boundaryk.html Jan 1, 1999 "Virginia was the first of the thirteen original states to be founded and settled. The Old Dominion was initially created as a huge geographic political entity. It was generally the tradition of the English during the colonial period to establish large geographic units, and then to subsequently sub-divide them into smaller more manageable units. This two-phase process was conducted in order to establish legal claims to maximum territory. As areas were settled the large territories were subdivided for a variety of reasons. One was to suit the particular needs of the local inhabitants, as in the cases of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Plymouth, and Delaware." Virginia Places
