Port Royal, in Caroline county, Va., is a very old town. An act passed at the present session of the Legislature, in reference to its boundaries, alludes to it as the same place mentioned in an act of the House of Burgesses, ‘"for creating a town near Roy's warehouse, passed in September, 1744, in the 18th year of the reign of King George the 2nd."’
