Tidewater Virginia is perhaps more interesting to an American than any other equal area between the two oceans. Jamestown was home to the first permanent English settlement in America in 1607. The first truly representative legislative body on the continent assembled in Tidewater. The first church was erected here. Among the great names we find the Blands, the Pendletons, the Lees, the Carters, Patrick Henry, the Randolphs, the Harrisons, the Mercers, and George Washington. Six of the first ten presidents were born in Virginia, and five of them were born in Tidewater.
