A history of Virginia for boys and girls . hich we shall hear again. 58 A HISTORY OF VIRGINIA In spite of the fact that Governor Berkeleybecame very unpopular before he left Virginia, a rich county of the state was allowed to take hisname, many years after his death. BerkeleyCounty was one of the fifty counties that, in 1863, were erected into the state of West Virginia. Lord Culpeper was another colonial governorwho was honored in the naming of a Virginia county. From it camethe famous CulpeperMinute Men of Revo-lutionary days. But hewas not exactly a kingsgovernor. As we havealready noted, Culpeperand Arlington were pro-prietors of Virginia from1673 ^o 1684. Culpeperhimself acted as gov-ernor for two or threeyears.

James-town always had been an unhealthy place, andnot long after Nicholson came back in 1698 thetown was again destroyed by fire. Accordingly, he moved the capital eight miles north, near thenew college, at Middle Plantation. He laid outMiddle Plantation on a splendid plan, shaping itfor a city. The name he changed to Williams-burg. Williamsburg is to-day the oldest ci
