Tappahannock, Virginia
Tappahannock is the oldest town in Essex County, Virginia, United States. The population was 2,068 at the 2000 census. Located on the Rappahannock River, Tappahannock is the county seat of Essex County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 Its name comes from the Algonquian language word ''lappihanne'' (also noted as ''toppehannock''), meaning "Town on the rise and fall of water" or "where the tide ebbs and flows." In 1608 John Smith landed in Tapphannock but was driven back by the local Native American tribe.〔(Welcome to Tappahannock Virginia )〕

The town comprised 50 acres divided into half acre squares.〔http://www.vawterfamily.org/Georgine/Bartholomew%201-99.pdf〕 The port was established at Hobb’s Hole and called New Plymouth,〔 later changed back to the Indian name Tappahannock. Public warehouses for inspection and exportation of the tobacco were established in 1730 at Hobbs Hole .
