Virginia
Virgina was founded by English and their first permanent settlement was Jamestown in honor of King James.
I believe it was Delaware because it was the first state either that or it was Jamestown, Virginia which was the first English settlement or town.
The Powhatan met the English in 1607, in what would later become the state of Virgina. The English called their settlement Jamestown.
The "state" of Virginia isn't really a state; it is a commonwealth. The name "Virginia" was chosen to honor Queen Elizabeth, reputedly the Virgin Queen. Jamestown was the first permanent English settlement in America and was Virginia's first capital.
The first permanent (and successful) English settlement founded in the "New World" was the Jamestown colony. Founded in 1607, it was located in what would become the state of Virginia, in the central Eastern seaboard region of the American colonies -- and, eventually, of the United States.
Virginia
The Virginia Company founded Jamestown, the first English settlement in America as part of a joint venture. The Colony of Virginia was an English settlement established in the new world and named by Sir Walter Raleigh in honor of Elizabeth the I. It was renamed â??The Old Dominionâ?? State by Charles II for loyalty to the monarchy during the English Commonwealth.
Actually, Jamestown was never meant to be permanent but the 104 men who landed in Virginia were sent there to look for gold. They built their fort on the worse land in the area with bad water, mosquitoes, and a Native American empire of 15,000.
The first of the 13 states to be settled was Virginia. It was established in 1607 with the founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. Virginia played a significant role in the early history of the United States, serving as a colony and later as a state.
