From the school's website:\n\n1693, February 8.\nKing William III and Queen Mary II granted a charter to establish The College of William and Mary in Virginia. The King provided £1,985 14s l0d from quitrents in Virginia, a penny tax on every pound of tobacco exported from Maryland and Virginia to countries other than England, the "Profits" from the surveyor-general's office and 10,000 acres each in the Pamunkey Neck and on Blackwater Swamp. The Reverend James Blair was named president of the College and served until his death in 1743. \n\n1693, November 16.\nAlthough the charter suggested a site on the south side of the York River ("Townsend's Land"), the act passed this day by the General Assembly, and consented to on November 18 by Nicholson, established the site of the College "as near the church now standing in Middle Plantation old fields as convenience will permit." This church was the predecessor of the present Bruton Parish Church. The same day the assembly also voted an export duty on furs and skins for the support of the College. The name "Middle Plantation" was changed to "Williamsburg" when the colonial capital was moved there from Jamestown in 1699. \n\n1693, December 20. \nFor the College site a tract of 330 acres was purchased for £170 from Captain Thomas Ballard. Two of the boundary stones, erected in 1694 to mark the property, may be seen in the College library. \n\n1694, May 14. \nThe coat of arms of the College was granted by the College of Arms in London. The arms were described as: "Vert a Colledge, or Edifice mason'd Argent in Chief a Sun rising Or the Hemisphere proper," i.e., a college building in silver, on a green field; a golden sun at half orb against a blue sky. \n\n1695, August 8.\nGovernor Edmund Andros and the Council of Virginia were present at the laying of the first bricks of the foundation of the College Building, later called the Main Building. When restored between 1928 and 1931, it was renamed the Sir Christopher Wren Building in honor of the presumed architect. The front and the north wing were completed in 1700.
