How did the tidewater get its name?

The Tidewater region of Virginia and parts of Maryland got its name from the area's proximity to the Atlantic Ocean and its unique topography. The term "tidewater" refers to the areas where tidal waters from rivers and the ocean influence the landscape, resulting in a mix of fresh and saltwater. This region features low-lying land and waterways, which were historically significant for trade and transportation. The name reflects both the geographic characteristics and the importance of tides in the area's ecology and economy.


What was the town layout of Colonial Virginia?

Read Tidewater Towns by John Reps. But basically the Virginia Company in England made an effort to establish European-style town plans in order to foster European Culture. sites like Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Charles City were great examples of this pattern. Their efforts ultimately failed, however, as the reliance of the colony on tobacco crops created an agricultural-based community where centralized towns were not feasible. Instead, a network of largely self-sufficient plantations loosely organized into counties became the norm in Virginia, rather than the New England town model of the northern colonies.
