Jamestown was a very dirty place. There were mosquitoes carrying malaria in the swamps, the water was brackish, and a major drought almost caused the settlement to disappear Williamsburg was on higher land away from disease. Also, the water was drinkable. Overall, Williamsburg was a much cleaner and nicer place to live.
