Late Morning Trivia [Virginia History Style]

In 1634, the Virginia House of Burgesses divided the Colony of Virginia into eight original shires to formalize local government, courts, and tax collection. These shires served as the foundation for all modern counties and independent cities in Virginia. Name ONE of the Orginal Shires (counties) or what that Shire has become today.
