The grounds and trails are open daily, from 8am until dusk, to day visitors . Background: The name First Landing commemorates the 1607 landing of the Virginia Company on Cape Henry. The group of settlers that made landfall here eventually moved west and formed Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. The park name was changed from Seashore State Park to reflect the historical significance of Cape Henry. The cape was originally named by the settlers to commemorate the Prince of Wales, Henry Frederick, who was the eldest son of King James. Another First Landing State Park distinction is a botanical one - the park is the northernmost east coast location where subtropical and temperate plants can be found growing together.
