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 major port in Virginia was Norfolk, but many settlers arrived at Baltimore, Philadelphia, or other ports and then migrated to Virginia. In the eighteenth century, ships docked at ports in the Northern Neck of Virginia, where they sold British indentured servants. English convict ships also stopped in this area during the 1700s to sell transported felons.
