The colony of Virginia was founded May 13, 1607 by the London Company. The company sent 104 men to VA and they founded Jamestown. Within the first 6 months over half of the 104 were dead.
The first expedition in 1584 disappeared, and it was assumed that they had been kidnapped or killed by the Native Americans living in the area. But other expeditions survived and Virginia was made a colony in 1607.
