Best Answer

While several colonies were briefly established by English settlers in the late 1500s and early 1600s, all were unsuccessful until the founding of the Jamestown (Virginia) settlement in 1607. Though briefly abandoned in 1610, this colony ultimately flourished, with a continuous (and successful) history lasting until 1699, at which point the bulk of the residents and colony-functions were resettled nearby in what became known as Williamsburg.
