First British settlement was established in America paid for by the Virginia Company of London and chartered through king James I. The charter granted certain powers and duties to settlers to set up a colony in a territory that would be renamed Jamestown in an area that would later become the territory of Virginia. Of course the colony and territory names replaced the former ones the native Algonquian nation called this territory before the European settlers invaded.
