History of Suffolk, Virginia : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Suffolk, Virginia
The area around Suffolk, Virginia, which is now an independent city in the Hampton Roads region in the southeastern part of the state, was originally inhabited by Native Americans. At the time of European contact, the Nansemonds lived along the river later known by the same name. Suffolk was first explored by the English settlers based at Jamestown, not long after their arrival. They sought a means to survive the inhospitable environment at Jamestown Island. ==Settlement by the Nansemond== By at least 1584, the Nansemond tribe originally lived in four villages along the Nansemond River, centered near ''Chuckatuck'' (now part of the city of Suffolk). Their head chief lived near Dumpling Island where the tribe’s temples and sacred items were located. At that time the tribe had a population of 1,200 persons with 300 bowmen.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Virginia Indians Today – Nansemond )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Timeline of Nansemond History )〕 In 1608, Captain John Smith and other colonists from Jamestown began to explore the Nansemond River, following the oyster beds; the English attacked the Nansemond.〔〔 In 1609, the Nansemond Indians drove Smith out; in return the English robbed the tribe's temple.〔 Despite such setbacks, the new colony continued to grow, and soon settlers populated the area on a permanent basis. They gradually drove out the Nansemond— the tribe lost their last known reservation lands in 1792.〔
