==Historical papers==
There were actually three papers published in Williamsburg under the name ''The Virginia Gazette'' between 1736 and 1780. Together, these papers serve as an important record for Virginia's colonial history. The original ''Virginia Gazette'', the first newspaper ever published in Virginia, was established by William Parks, who printed the first four-page edition on August 6, 1736. Its motto was "Containing the freshest Advices, Foreign and Domestick." Three years earlier, Parks had founded ''The Maryland Gazette'' in Annapolis, Maryland. In 1743, Parks built a paper mill in Williamsburg; he purchased the raw material to create newsprint from Benjamin Franklin. The paper was published, successively, by William Parks (1736–1750), William Hunter (1751–1761), Joseph Royle (1761–1765), Alexander Purdie and John Dixon (1766-1775), Dixon and Hunter (1775-1778), and Dixon and Thomas Nicolson (1779–1780). The last issue was published on April 8, 1780, after which point the paper relocated to Richmond, Virginia's new capital.
In 1766 William Rind founded a competing newspaper also called the ''The Virginia Gazette''. This paper was published by Rind (1766–1773), then by his widow Clementina Rind (1773–1774), and finally John Pinkney (1774–1776). Its last issue was printed on February 3, 1776.〔 On February 3, 1775, Alexander Purdie, previously a publisher of the original ''Gazette'', started a third paper of the same name. It was published by Purdie until his death in 1779; it was then published by John Clarkson and Augustine Davis until December 9, 1780.〔 Afterward, various papers were published periodically around Virginia using the ''Virginia Gazette'' banner.〔()〕
