Originally Middle Plantation , a 1632 fortified settlement located on high ground on the Peninsula between the James and York rivers, it was renamed Williamsburg after the capital of the Virginia Colony was moved there from Jamestown in 1698. The town received a royal charter as a city in 1722, and was the center of political events in Virginia leading to the American Revolution . Williamsburg is well-known for Colonial Williamsburg , the restored Historic Area of the city, and for the adjacent College of William and Mary , established in 1693, the second-oldest university in the United States.
