What were the oringinal borders of Virginia?

Answer 1

The original borders of Virginia, established in the early 17th century, extended far beyond the current state limits. Initially, the colony was granted a charter that encompassed all the land from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and from the northern border of present-day Maryland to the southern border of North Carolina. Over time, as new colonies were established and boundaries were redrawn, Virginia's territory was reduced. By the time of the American Revolution, Virginia's borders had been more clearly defined, leading to the establishment of its current boundaries.
