| Our chapter was organized on May 2, 1931, in Chester, Virginia and was named for the town of Bermuda Hundred. Sir Thomas Dale established the town of Bermuda Hundred in 1613. It became the first incorporated community in English America in 1614. | ||

Bermuda Hundred was home to John Rolfe, Colony Recorder, who married Pocahontas. The Rev. Alexander Whitaker ministered here. Bermuda Hundred was an early port of Richmond. In 2006, Bermuda Hundred was placed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. Our members are active in Richmond, Chesterfield, Henrico, and surrounding communities. The Society's objectives are historical preservation, promotion of education, and patriotic endeavors. |
