	Kecoughtan, Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kecoughtan in Virginia was originally named Kikotan (also spelled Kecoughtan and Kikowtan), presumably a word for the native americans living there when the English colonists arrived in the Hampton Roads area in 1607.
		While Kecoughtan was never an incorporated town, the area was continuously occupied after 1610, it became part of Elizabeth River Shire in 1634, and Elizabeth City County in 1637.
		Through the Kecoughtan settlement, Hampton is the home of the oldest continually occupied English settlement in North America.

	NPS Historical Handbook: Jamestown
		With the arrival of Delaware, Kecoughtan (renamed Elizabeth City in 1619) was established as a permanent settlement.
		Virginia already enjoyed a high degree of religious freedom due, perhaps, to the fact that a number of company officers were strongly under the influence of the puritan element within the Church of England.
		Virginia could not yet support these projects profitably, and interest was lacking on the part of the planters who found in tobacco a source of wealth superior to anything else that had been tried.

	Bruce, Economic History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century. Ch. III
		Strachey informs us that before the aboriginal settlement at Kecoughtan was broken up, the population of that place was close upon one thousand, their wigwams numbering three hundred, but there is nothing to show that all of these dwellings were built in the immediate neighborhood of each other.
		So bountiful had nature been to the Virginia of the aborigines, that they were only compelled to provide by manual labor a subsistence for one-fourth of the year; during the remainder they adapted themselves to the seasons, and lived on what the country spontaneously afforded.
		At Kecoughtan and Rappahannock, places visited by the voyagers on their way up the Powhatan, they were entertained with feasts that included a great variety of fruits, vegetables, fish, fowls, and wild beasts.
