The 1624/5 Muster List of Virginia is the first comprehensive census in British North America. The list includes 1232 names, but does not include women and children. The enumeration was taken between January 20th and February 7th 1624/5 [meaning 1624 by the calendar at the time and 1625 by our calendar, not that the year is uncertain]. There are numerous other references (books and web sites) providing the lists along with explanations and discussion.

In 1617, on the Southern Neck (a.k.a., Virginia Peninsula) of Virginia Colony, Elizabeth City was formed as one of four "incorporations and parishes" in Virginia Colony. These were the first political subdivisions of the colony. In 1634, Charles River Shire was split off from Elizabeth City. In 1642/3, Charles River Shire was re-named York County, which it remains to this day.
