Tobacco was important because when John Rolfe started growing and selling it, tobacco made money for the colony!
The cultivation of tobacco increased as the market demand for this new product sky rocketed in Europe. The other result was that new plantations were created at the expense of Native American owned land.
Historical records indicate that commercial cultivation of the crop began as early as 1612. Until cotton became king in 1803, tobacco was rated as the nation's most valuable export commodity.
In 1612 a man named John Rolfe introduced the cultivation of tobacco to the Jamestown settlement. He obtained samples of the "Nicotiana Tabacum" variety of tobacco (from a Spanish colony either in South America or Jamaica) which was superior to the "Nicotiana Rustica" variety grown locally. It is probable that John Rolfe was helped in learning cultivation technique by his wife, the famous Pocahontas.
