Twenty years ago . . . a transformation:
-Virginia had two main populations : whites and AfricanAmericans.
-Latinos concentrated in urban Northern Virginia (DC
Metro area); many were associated with the diplomaticand international communities
-Migrant workers populated the Eastern Shore andShenandoah Valley, working in agriculture, food
processing, and seafood industries-The military brought Latinos to the Tidewater area
-But, many places had never had a Latino resident!

Today . . .Latino presence has tripled from 1990 to 2006;
with growth all over, especially in smaller
communitiesand, very importantly . . .
Virginia does not have a system of higher
education, so it is harder for professionals toget to know each other and coordinate efforts

16th Century,many years before
the English landed in
Jamestown in 1607.

• In 1524, Spaniards sailed up theRio Guandape (James River) &established a settlement of about600 people (near Jamestown),called San Miguel de Guandape.
• In 1527, after ship-fever almost
exterminated the colony, a fewstayed to live with the Indianswhile the rest returned to theisland of Hispanola.
• In 1570, Spanish Jesuits set upthe Ajacan Mission on the YorkRiver in the Bahia de la Madre de Dios (the Chesapeake Bay).

In fact . . .Virginia’s famous wild ponies of Chincoteague Island
are the descendants of Arabian horsesfrom a shipwrecked Spanish galleon.
It is believed that the horses swam to the island, where
they could only eat the salt marsh's coarse cordgrasses and seaweed and drink the sea water.
The next generation of
horses were stunted ingrowth, but remainedvery hardy in nature!
