Historic Triangle

The Historic Triangle refers to three significant sites in Virginia: Jamestown, Williamsburg, and Yorktown. These locations represent key moments in American history—Jamestown was the first successful English settlement in America; Williamsburg served as the colonial capital with historic buildings and education; and Yorktown was the site of the decisive Revolutionary War battle that led to American independence. This trio offers a comprehensive view of early American history, from colonization through independence, making it a popular destination for learning and exploring the nation’s foundational events.
