		As waterways were the chief forms of navigation, exploration spread along the major rivers York and James, and their tributaries, the Pamunkey, Chickahominy, and North and South Anna, bringing colonists to the area which is now Hanover County.
		Intermittently, the Indians and settlers fought, and the warfare, along with increasing numbers of colonists, brought the virtual demise of the tribes in the area by 1680.
		A strong legacy of the Indian culture was obliterated by the renaming of many rivers, pathways and other geological sites by the early explorers, such as the name change from Powhatan River to James River, both titles in honor of their respective kings.

	The Origin of Norfolk's Name
		Thorowgood, who was Lower Norfolk County's leading citizen in his day, also traditionally changed the name of the Chesopean River, on which he received a princely grant of 5,350 acres of land in 1635, to the Lynnhaven River in memory of the King's Lynn in his native Norfolk.
		It is said that Thorowgood changed the name because of the then striking resemblance between the Virginia river and the River Ouse that flows through the Norfolk fenland to the Wash and the North Sea.
		That the transplanted captain from Norfolk, England, took his position seriously and was not lightly trifled with is evident from a record of the court for the new county that he traditionally named dated May 15, 1637.
