Jamestown, settled in 1607. At first it was a terrible place about 7 out of 10 died each year. They had a community responsibility pact that everyone would share their harvest with all through the communal store. What happened was many would not work their fields and the food would run out. It wasn't until this "pact" was disolved, around the time (1612) that John Rolfe, "John Smith", arrived to Jamestown with tobacco seeds he illegally took out of England, that the colony started to thrive causing many more people to leave England for America.
When it was established in 1607 it was a military style of organization. The 104 men were sent by investors to make them money on the investment of sending them to VA. This was not suppose to develop into a colony. The men established the fort in an Native American empire of 14,000 and built on the worse land in the area. Within six months only 34 men were still alive. It wasn't until the introduction of tobacco by Rolfe that the colony became a viable growing town.
Jamestown was founded in Virgina by John Smith and his crew in 1607.

Because the colonists had the help from the Indians who already knew how to survive in the region. For example they used dead fish as a fertilizer so their crops could grow, but who helped them, American Indians
Jamestown was the first permanent English Colony in America, founded in 1607. The colony was sponsored by the Virginia Company of London. Three ships, the Susan Constant, Godspeed and Discovery, left England in 1606, with 105 passengers. They arrived on the Virginia coast in late April 1608.
Jamestown was 104 men in 1607 who came to look for gold and was the first settlement in Virginia. They didn't plan on a permanent colony and they settled on the worse land in the area. There were in an Native American empire of 15,000, had bad water, disease, mosquitoes, and starvation. Within the first 6 months only 34 were alive. Jamestown was saved by John Rolfe with tobacco seeds. Plymouth was 60 people from the same small English town who were looking to escape the Reformation in 1620. They came with families, cattle, children, and tools to make a permanent home in the new world. The Mayflower was blown off course by a storm and landed in Massachusetts where they set up a colony in an abandoned Native American camp. They lived on the ship and also found the baskets of dried corn that had been stored by the tribe that had lived there. This saved them. The reason these places and events are important is because they are part of the common history of the United States.

From Wikipedia:"Jamestown, located on Jamestown Island in the Virginia Colony, was founded on May 14, 1607.[1] It is commonly regarded as the first permanent English settlement in what is now the United States of America, following several earlier failed attempts, including the Lost Colony of Roanoke. It was founded by the London Company (later to become the Virginia Company), headquartered in London. Located in James City County when it was formed in 1634 as one of the original eight shires of Virginia, Jamestown was the capital of the Colony for 83 years, from 1616 until 1699.[2] At that time, the capital was relocated to Middle Plantation, about 8 miles (13 km) distant. (That small community, which had also become home to the new College of William and Mary in 1693, was renamed Williamsburg in 1699). The London Company's second settlement, Bermuda, claims the oldest town in the English New World, as St. George's, Bermuda was officially established (as New London) in 1612, where James Fort, in Virginia, is said not to have been converted into Jamestown until 1619. Jamestown ceased to exist as a settlement after the transfer of Virginia's capital to Williamsburg in 1699, existing, today, only as archaeological remains, whereas St. George's has continued in use throughout.[3]"
