The Governor's Land Archeological District encompasses an area upstream from Jamestown, Virginia (now in James County) that was historically reserved for the use of the Virginia Colony's royal governor. The territory includes a settlement established in 1617 called Argall's Settlement. The district covers 2,000 acres (810 ha) of the 3,000-acre (1,200 ha) area originally set aside.[2]
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
