Early history of Williamsburg, South Carolina
Williamsburg was one of eleven townships that were ordered by King George in 1730 to colonial governor Robert Johnson to develop the "back country" of the Carolina Province. The townships were to consist of 20,000 acres (80 km²) and be laid out to front a river, in this case the Black River.
