The original European settlers came in the early 17th century from the midland and southern counties of England. They first settled in [[Virginia]]'s tidewater (coastal plain). Many colonists had connections to [[Barbados|Barbados]]. Although the first blacks arrived in 1619, large numbers of blacks were imported beginning about 1680. Small landholders moved westward to the Piedmont, where they were joined by a new wave of English and Scottish immigrants. | The original European settlers came in the early 17th century from the midland and southern counties of England.
