In late 1606, the three ships sent by the London Company landed at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay. However, they were abruptly attacked by some of the Natives, and forced to move. They eventually settled on the banks of James River, (named for King James I), and it was known as Jamestown.

The colony of Jamestown, located in what is now the US state of Virginia, was the first colony in that area. It was a British colony and one of its main purposes was to grow tobacco and ship it back to England. Jamestown was named after the British king, James.
