About Williamsburg

Most people know Williamsburg, Virginia for its colonial heritage and status as part of America's Historic Triangle, but for residents of this unique and beautiful area, it is much more than history. It is home.

 

Welcome to the charming college town of modern Williamsburg, located in the heart of Virginia. This quaint city is perfect for both tourists and year-round residents, offering a close-knit community and an exceptional quality of life.


Williamsburg is an independent city that shares some civic services with neighboring James City County. This unique partnership allows the city to offer services at a level unusual in such a small area. For instance, residents benefit from top-rated schools through the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools system, which offers innovative programs tailored to meet students' needs - whether that's assistance applying for college scholarships or mentorship programs designed to help break the "at risk" cycle.


The area’s regional library is another standout feature, offering not just books but also a concert series, lectures and book readings. The library plays host to many events each month focused on literature, music, theater and more. And if you're looking for something fun to do on Saturdays, be sure to check out the Williamsburg Farmers Market where locals gather to enjoy fresh produce and artisanal products.


For those who love art and culture, Williamsburg has an active arts community. The Williamsburg Area Arts Commission hosts several events each month focused on visual arts, literature, music and theater. From gallery openings to live performances by local artists, there's always something inspiring happening here.


If shopping is your thing, then you'll love exploring the Williamsburg Outlet Mall which features a wide variety of stores with great deals on designer brands. Golf enthusiasts can hit the links at Kingsmill Resort & Spa while nature lovers can take advantage of one of the city's 19 parks which provide walking trails, tennis courts and picnic shelters.
