By the 1630s, English settlements had grown to dominate the lower (eastern) portion of the <a href="/wiki/Virginia_Peninsula" title="Virginia Peninsula">Virginia Peninsula</a>, and Powhatan tribes had abandoned their nearby villages. Between 1630 and 1633, after the war that followed the <a href="/wiki/Indian_Massacre_of_1622" class="mw-redirect" title="Indian Massacre of 1622">Indian Massacre of 1622</a>, English colonists constructed a defensive palisade across the peninsula and a settlement named <a href="/wiki/Middle_Plantation_(Virginia)" title="Middle Plantation (Virginia)">Middle Plantation</a> as a primary guard-station along the palisade.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Jamestown, the original capital of Virginia Colony, burned down during the events of <a href="/wiki/Bacon%27s_Rebellion" title="Bacon's Rebellion">Bacon's Rebellion</a> in 1676. Once Governor <a href="/wiki/William_Berkeley_(governor)" title="William Berkeley (governor)">William Berkeley</a> had regained control, temporary government headquarters were established about 12 miles (19 km) away on the high ground at Middle Plantation, pending the rebuilding of the Statehouse at Jamestown. The members of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Burgesses" title="House of Burgesses">House of Burgesses</a> discovered that the "temporary" location was both safer and more pleasant than Jamestown, which was humid and plagued with mosquitoes. </p><p>A school of higher education had long been an aspiration of the colonists. An early attempt at <a href="/wiki/Henricus" title="Henricus">Henricus</a> failed after the <a href="/wiki/Indian_Massacre_of_1622" class="mw-redirect" title="Indian Massacre of 1622">Indian Massacre of 1622</a>; the location at the outskirts of the developed part of the colony had left it vulnerable to attack. In the 1690s, the colonists again tried to establish a school. They commissioned Reverend <a href="/wiki/James_Blair_(clergyman)" title="James Blair (clergyman)">James Blair</a>, who spent several years in England lobbying, and finally obtained a royal charter for the desired new school. It was to be named the <a href="/wiki/The_College_of_William_%26_Mary" class="mw-redirect" title="The College of William & Mary">College of William & Mary</a> in honor of the monarchs of the time. When Blair returned to Virginia, the new school was founded in a safe place, Middle Plantation, in 1693. Classes began in temporary quarters in 1694, and construction soon started on the College Building, a precursor to the <a href="/wiki/Wren_Building" title="Wren Building">Wren Building</a>. </p><p>Four years later, in 1698, the rebuilt Statehouse in Jamestown burned down again, this time accidentally. The government again "temporarily" relocated to Middle Plantation, and in addition to the better climate now also enjoyed use of the college's facilities. The college students made a presentation to the House of Burgesses, and it was agreed in 1699 that the colonial capital would move to Middle Plantation permanently. A village was laid out and Middle Plantation was renamed Williamsburg in honor of King <a href="/wiki/William_III_of_England" title="William III of England">William III of England</a>, befitting the town's newly elevated status. </p><p>After Williamsburg's designation as the colony's capital, immediate provision was made for construction of a capitol building and for platting the city according to <a href="/wiki/Theodorick_Bland_(surveyor)" title="Theodorick Bland (surveyor)">Theodorick Bland</a>'s survey. His design utilized the college's extant sites and the almost new <a href="/wiki/Bruton_Parish_Church" title="Bruton Parish Church">Bruton Parish Church</a> as focal points, and placed the new Capitol building opposite the college, with <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Gloucester_Street" class="mw-redirect" title="Duke of Gloucester Street">Duke of Gloucester Street</a> connecting them. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Alexander_Spotswood" title="Alexander Spotswood">Alexander Spotswood</a>, who arrived in Virginia as <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_Governor_of_Virginia" title="Lieutenant Governor of Virginia">lieutenant governor</a> in 1710, had several ravines filled and streets leveled, and assisted in erecting additional college buildings, a church, and a magazine for the storage of arms.
