King James I granted the merchants a charter to establish a colony called Virginia. It gave the Virginia Company authority over a large portion of North America's Atlantic Coastline. When the first colonists arrived in Virginia in 1607, the hundred men that had sailed into Chesapeake Bay built a fort called Jamestown. It would later prove to be England's first permanent settlement in North America.
