Facts about the city
Tangier, Virginia is a town in Accomack County, Virginia, United States, on Tangier Island in Chesapeake Bay. The population was 727 at the 2010 census. The majority of the original settlers were from South West England, and the tiny island community has attracted the attention of linguists because its people speak a unique English Restoration-era dialect of American English. Most of Tangier Island is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

History
John Crockett settled the island in 1686. It is Swain Memorial Methodist Church. Almost any morning after gale force winds have been blowing all night, new arrow heads can be found on the beach, uncovered by the blowing away of sand. In 1670, Ambrose White received a patent for 400 acres (1.6 kmĀ²) called an Island in the Chesapeake Bay. There is a similar entry in the patent book three years later but Scarburgh and West were the recipients instead of Walton and in 1678 a formal patent was issued to both of them.
