Archaeological excavations at Pocahontas Island have found evidence of a prehistoric Native American settlement dated to 6500 BC. This is in the early third of the Archaic Period (8000 to 1000 BC). Succeeding cultures of indigenous peoples lived in the area for thousands of years prior to European exploration and colonization. When the English arrived in Virginia in 1607, the region was occupied by the Appamatuck , a significant tribe of the Powhatan Confederacy. They were governed by a weroance , King Coquonosum, and by his sister, Queen Oppussoquionuske.
