Jamestown was founded in 1607 by the London Company in England and became the first successful English settlement in the New World. In the first years of the settlement, things were difficult for the colonists. However, after a few years tobacco became the cash crop of the area and provided Jamestown with an economic base in which to support themselves.

∙ 11y agoTobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) saved the Jamestown colony. John Rolfe experimented with Spanish tobacco and found it grew well there. And there was a high demand for it. Also, it could be dried and packaged, so shipping it long distances was not a problem because it would not spoil.
