The first capital of Virginia was Jamestown in 1607. Then it became Williamsburg in 1699. Then it became Richmond in 1780.
In 1780, the capital of Virginia was moved from Williamsburg to Richmond. This relocation was part of a strategic decision to place the capital in a more central location, making it more accessible for residents across the growing state. Richmond's location along the James River also provided advantages for trade and defense.
The Capitol Building is located in the capital, Richmond VA. Two different words, slightly different meaning, different spelling. PS- Former member, Virginia State Capitol Police here. See link below:
