James City County


James City County has experience encouraging business for more than 400 years. The County was founded by the Virginia Company in 1607 as America’s first business venture. Since its inception, James City County has a history of establishing, nurturing, and pursuing profitable enterprises.  But James City County is not all about the past; tourists, citizens, and businesses still discover the same competitive advantages that convinced the early explorers to settle here.
