The Governor of Virginia who claimed the Ohio Valley as a British colony was Governor Robert Dinwiddie. His assertion was part of the broader colonial competition for land and resources in North America during the mid-18th century. Dinwiddie's actions contributed to rising tensions between British colonists and French forces, ultimately leading to the French and Indian War.
