Market Square stood at the center of Governor Francis Nicholson's design for Williamsburg - and for good reason. It would be central to the rotines of life in Virginia's new capital. On July 28, 1722 George 1st officially authorized Williamsburg market on Wednesday and Saturdays "for the sale and vending of all, and all Manner of Cattle, Victuals, Provisions, Goods, Wares and Merchandises, whatsoever" free form local tolls or taxes.
