Jordan Point, Virginia
Jordan Point (or Jordan's Point) is a small unincorporated community on the south bank of the James River in the northern portion of Prince George County, Virginia, United States.
== Early history ==
English settlers began arriving at Jamestown in 1607, and the property at Jordan's Point was first known as "Jordan’s Journey" in 1619. It was then located in Charles Cittie (sic), a "burrough" (sic) or "incorporation" (sic) of the Virginia Company of London, the early proprietor of the Virginia Colony. The first recorded owner was Samuel Jordan, who with his wife, Cecily, her two daughters, and their adult male servants, took up residence around 1620, Samuel Jordan died in 1623, and his widow married William Farrar, who moved to Jordan’s Journey, which appears to have been abandoned by 1635.
Virginia became a royal colony in 1624. Ten years later, in 1634, the area of Jordan's Point became part of Charles City Shire, later Charles City County. The area of Charles City County south of the James River became Prince George County in 1703.
In 1656, the land at Jordan's Point was acquired by Theodorick Bland. In 1671, his son Richard Bland (I) of Berkeley Plantation inherited it, and established a home known as Jordan's Point Plantation there at some time before his death in 1720.
