Richmond, originally called Henricus, was settled in 1611 by Sir Thomas Dale, the governor of the Jamestown colony. It was here that the first hospital in the colonies was built. In 1737, the city's name was changed to Richmond, after the city of Richmond-upon-Thames, England. In 1775, Patrick Henry uttered his famous words "Give me liberty, or give me death" at St. John's Church in Richmond. In 1780, the capital of Virginia was moved to Richmond from Williamsburg. During the Civil War, Richmond was capital of the Confederacy. It was ultimately captured in 1865 by Union forces, just days before the Confederacy surrendered.
