Roanoke Island must have been a malarial swamp 400 years ago. Not the best of places to start a colony.

How old is the name “Virginia”? School books state Virginia was named after Queen Eliz I, the “virgin queen”, but does that mean that that is when the name is first used? Or is Virginia a much older name? Just wonderin....
