Williamsburg 1699 Virginia Colony capital; originally Middle Plantation
1776 State capital

Richmond 1780 State capital; Confederate capital 1861-5

Answer 2

Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States. It was the capital of Virginia when the colony was little more than the town. But the site proved unhealthy and the capital was moved to Williamsburg. Later it was moved to Richmond, where it is today. You can visit the archeological site of the original settlement and a nearby reconstruction of what they think Jamestown looked like.

Answer 3

~Since Virginia was not a "state" until after the signing of the Treaty of Paris and ratification of the constitution, no. Your question answers itself. In 'colonial' times, there were no states and, therefore, no state capitals. The seat of government of Virginia during colonial times was London.
