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.
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.
