And yet, there is only one Salem, Virginia, USA, and it has its own particular chapter to add to the tale. The way Salem and its residents faced the world in which they have found themselves over the years makes their history distinctive, and worth a closer look. The earliest history of Salem exists simply as archaeological evidence of Native Americans, dating from 8000 B.C. until the middle of the 18th century. Although the first Indians only passed through the area in hunting parties, Native Americans began establishing semi-permanent villages shortly after discovering they could cultivate agricultural products such as corn and beans. Contact with Europeans changed the Native Americans' lives drastically.
