When it was established in 1607 it was a military style of organization. The 104 men were sent by investors to make them money on the investment of sending them to VA. This was not suppose to develop into a colony. The men established the fort in an Native American empire of 14,000 and built on the worse land in the area. Within six months only 34 men were still alive. It wasn't until the introduction of tobacco by Rolfe that the colony became a viable growing town.
