==History==
The first permanant European settlement in Virginia was made in Jamestown in 1607. These settlers were called the Virginia Company of London, and in 1609 recieved a charter. In 1624, the Virginia Company was dissolved when it became a royal colony. French Huguenot and German settlers arrived in Virginia by the mid-18th century.<ref>Christina K.
